Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Stir in the chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, and chives, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and minced garlic until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy as a snack, side dish, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
