Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 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! ~ PT ~ " It was good for the skin to touch the earth, and the old people liked to remove their moccasins and walk with bare feet on the sacred earth...
