A Taste of…

Italian Herb Bread.

I thought I’d try and make my homemade machine bread a bit more tasty, so I tried out the following recipe. I only used half the amounts to make it, in case I didn’t like the taste.

1.1/2 Cups – Milk (lukewarm)

6 Tablespoons – Soft Butter/Margarine

4 Cups – Self Raising Flour

1. 1/2 Teaspoons – Salt

2 Tablespoons – Sugar

1. 1/2 Tablespoons – Italian Herb Seasoning (dried onion optional –but didn’t have any!)             

1. 1/2 Teaspoons – Quick Yeast

Added the liquid to the machine first, followed by the other ingredients and finally, the yeast.

Punched in the appropriate setting for the type of bread I wanted and pressed start. At the beginning of the final RISE of the dough, I sprinkled more dried herbs on the top and left the machine to continue its cycle. After cooling, I tried the bread dipped in Minestrone soup. I’ve also tried it with creamed soups and equally nice.
