[recipe*] Yogurt & Herb Bread

[Guest guest]

Here is another of my favorite Mollie Katzen recipes.

I think this one is in the 'Enchanted Broccoli Forest' cookbook.

This bread goes great with the Gypsy soup recipe, and

it is wonderful sliced thin, toasted and used as the

foundation for a veggie & cheese sandwich melt.

 

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 btter

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

 

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. Pour herb mixture into the well in the center of the dry ingredients, 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.

if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity

would not be so welcome.
