Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 piece Egg, large
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 8x4 inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Stir in the chopped parsley, thyme, and dried oregano, distributing the herbs evenly through the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick and lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of dried herbs over the top for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
