Sensational Herbed Bread
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tablespoon sage
- 1/2 tablespoon thyme
- 1/2 tablespoon basil
- 1/2 tablespoon oregano
- 11/2 teaspoons dry yeast
- 2 teaspoon molasses
- 13/4 cups lukewarm water
- 1. Line a 9 x 5-inch bread pan with parchment paper. Set aside. Combine the flour, sage, thyme, basil, and oregano in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the yeast. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the molasses and water. Mix by hand to make a soft, slightly wet dough. Knead until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl clean and feels elastic.
- 2. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Place the dough in the pan, cover with oiled plastic wrap, and leave in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Bake for about 35 minutes. Test to see if the bread is ready by tapping the top with your knuckles: the bread is done when it sounds hollow.
- VARIATION: Fresh herbs can also be used in this recipe, and for a slightly different taste, rosemary and chives can be substituted for the thyme and basil.
