Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 Egg
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, dried parsley, dried basil, and dried thyme.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Pour the yeast mixture and the milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or a spatula until a thick, sticky batter forms. Make sure no dry spots of flour remain.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Stir the risen batter to deflate it slightly, then transfer it to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula or wet fingertips.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
