Sensational Herb Bread

By devogirl

Ingredients

• 2 1/3 caps whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 tablespoon rosemary
• 1/2 tablespoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 teaspoons instant (fast rise) yeast
• 2 teaspoons molasses
• 1 cup lukewarm water

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine flour, herbs, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the yeast.
2. 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.
3. Place the dough in a nonstick (small) bread pan, cover with oiled plastic wrap, and leave to double in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
5. Bake for about 35 minutes. Test to see if bread is ready by tapping the top with your knuckles. Bread is done when it sounds hollow.
