Herb Sourdough Bread Recipe

After I baked my first loaf of bread, I was pretty proud of myself. It may not have looked perfect but I thought that it tasted wonderful. So that gave me confidence to try something new and challenging. To me that meant adding more ingredients!

The recipe that I tried came out of Ed Wood’s Classic Sourdoughs revised A home Baker’s Handbook. I found the Herb Bread recipe and thought this would be wonderful. I had some fresh herbs (which my gardening is neck in neck with my ability to bake or cook) out back that would be perfect for this recipe.

The results were amazing. I have to say it is my favorite bread that I have made yet. I love it with pasta, steak, pork, it just seems to go with anything that you eat. It isn’t an overwhelming taste. You can use fresh or dried herbs. I am learning too that I can change the taste by adding more or changing thing up. I also made too long French type loaves. That is the great thing about this whole baking business, I am learning that experimenting is part of the process. Yield one 1 ½ pound loaf.
