[recipe] Yogurt & Herb Bread

[Guest guest]

This is one the most wonderfully easy and

delicious quick bread recipes I have ever tried.

I got the recipe from a cookbook called

The Enchanted Broccoli Forest.

I've been on a kick lately going through the

recipes I have used from that book over the years.

If you want a perfect bread for making sandwiches

on, then this is the recipe; a nice savory loaf that

comes together in a snap...no kneading, no rising,

just mix together and bake. Pure hippy bliss!

Feel free to play around with the herb blends.

I am going to bake some up today using some

smokey paprika in the mix. Mmmmmm

 

Yogurt & Herb Bread

 

1 cup unbleached white flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp. baking pwdr

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

 

4 Tbs. melted butter

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup firm yogurt

1/3 cup light honey

 

1 tsp dill

1/2 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. thyme

1/2 tsp. basil

1/2 tsp. tarragon

 

optional: 1 Tbs. each dried parsley & chives

[add other herbs you enjoy]

 

1. Sift together the first 5 ingredients.

Make a well in the center of the bowl.

2. Beat together (w/ electric mixer) the next

4 ingredients for 3-5 minutes~ until frothy.

Add the herbs and beat well.

3. Pur herb mixture into the well in the center

of the dry ingrdients, and mix with a spoon

until thoroughly blended.

4. Pour into a well-buttered loaf pan, and bake

40-50 minutes in 350 degree oven. (until knife

inserted into center of bread comes out clean)

 

NOTE: The flavors of the herbs get stronger as

the bread ages~ you will have a chance to notice

this if the bread sits around for several days before

it is completely eaten. * Better bake two loaves;

one never lasts long enough in my house! *lol*

Enjoy!

and the old people liked to remove their

moccasins and walk with bare feet on the

sacred earth... The soil was soothing,

strengthening, cleansing, and healing. "
