Herb Bread for Bread Machine

What was the small amount of flour used for?

By recipe it was to the top of my bread machine! Next time I plan to cut everything by 25% and use garlic salt instead of regular salt as well as double the amount. Otherwise it came out very well once I trimmed the unbaked dough off from the "overflow"

Love this bread, it goes with just about every meal be it chicken and rice casserole, beef stew, or just about any soup. I always bring this bread with a casserole when someone is sick at church (I am the pastor's wife, so my bread machine works overtime!!)

This is my 2nd loaf I've made in my new bread machine....I made this today for my ''dinner guests'' ...Haven't sliced it yet, but it's very moist, smelled great while making too.. It rose all the way up to the top of my bread machine, but only a small spot touched... Can't wait till dinner!!! Will update more afterwards too!! UPDATE: My dinner guests LOVED this bread... nice & moist, full of flavor...one man ate 3 BIG PIECES of this with his dinner!!! I toasted a slice this morning, YUMMY!! The loaf stays very moist & soft...It's a KEEPER!! 12/2/16 UPDATE: This is the only bread I make now.. My friends always ask for it, I even send some home with them! The ''shelf-life'' is very short for them, they eat it quickly... I'm guessing I may need to make loaves for Christmas Gifts too!

It was delicious. Even my picky 8 year old loved it. I had to take off a star because it rise so much it hit the top of the machine. Next time I'm gonna try it with 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast instead.

I modified the recipe to add 1 teaspoon of pizza seasoning and Italian seasoning in addition to others it listed and 1/4 c of Parmesan cheese. I also think it came out better when I had the bread maker make the dough then bake in the oven with an egg wash over the top.

This baked very nicely in my Zojirushi bread machine. I used the basic quick cycle as it called for bread machine yeast. I personally prefer a chewier and crispier bread to balance all the herbs. This was very much like a standard white bread. I am not familiar with the Macaroni grill, but can see this being popular. I tried it with the suggested cream cheese, but think it would be better with a garlic spread or butter. Was interesting to try.

A great herb bread that is easy to make. I did substitute honey for sugar.

This is so easy to make and tastes great! Perfect to serve with soups or stews. I used AP flour and added 3 tsp. Wheat gluten to make it rise better. I added my liquids first, then dry ingredients and lastly the yeast. Perfect every time!

I make this bread probably once per week! I will say, I don't need 2 tsp of yeast. It makes the crumb too airy (and makes the bread overgrow my machine's container!). 1 tsp gives a beautiful crumb and just enough rise. It's very good!

So easy and sooooo good. This will be my regular 'go to' bread recipe!

Reducing the recipe by 25 percent, as recommended by another baker, successfully prevented bread from touching the lid of the bread machine. I substituted garlic salt for regular salt, as suggested by another baker. I had expected the bread to be a little more flavorful.

This was very good. I used the dough only setting on my machine and baked it like a French loaf in the oven. Was delicious with my beef stew.

Excellent!! We love the flavour so much and even added some parmesan cheese and garlic to the recipe. Our favourite now!

Wonderful bread! Nice herby flavor in a light, soft bread. Made a half-recipe to make a 1lb loaf.

Was very good had with a pot of chilli

Very good bread! This is probably the best bread recipe I've tried so far!

Years ago my eldest daughter made me a packaged herb bread I feel in love with. Unfortunately they stopped selling it. I made this recipe exactly as it is and honestly don’t think it could be any better!! My grandkids even love it and they are very picky eaters. Thank you so much for sharing this easy recipe. I will be making this often.

I added garlic and it was great

I changed up the herbs a bit.

Family loved it!! I made 2 changes because I live at 9,200 ft. (1) bread flour instead of AP; (2) 1.5 tsp active yeast instead of 2 tsp. Making another loaf now! Thank you! :D

My family devoured this in 2 days.

Easy. Tasty. Toasted nicely. Will defiantly make it again.

Wow! Delicious bread! The whole house smelled like a sub shop. Yum. My three-year-old has been wanting to help me in the kitchen as she’s aged. I’m teaching her canning, so I figured she’s also probably ready for baking. I bought a bread machine to simplify our lives so she can just pour in the ingredients and claim the bread as her own creation with minimal help from Mommy.

Made this recipe as is and it was absolutely DELICIOUS!!

Exactly as advertised- delicious.

my kids love this bread I make it daily but add mixed herbs ( to make it easy )and extra garlic added 2 teaspoons turmeric on last loaf it's Devine with turmeric

Excellent! Used Italian seasoning in place of oregano and Rosemary. Enjoyed toasted on the grill with a little bit of butter! Going to try adding garlic next time too!

I made this bread with an herbed butter and everyone loved it.

Substituted bread flower for the recommended all purpose flour. Next time I think I will go with the all purpose. It came out very fluffy. A denser bread would be better for soup dipping.

Makes delicious cheese toast. I love it.

One reviewer asked what the extra flour was for — I just added it to the rest of the flour. After making it once, I used one teaspoon of garlic salt and 3/4 teaspoon of regular salt. I also doubled the rosemary (personal preference) and the oregano. This made the bread much more “herby”. I’m not a huge basil fan, so I left that the same. My settings for my Cuisanart Automatic Bread Maker are for a two pound loaf, light crust color. I used 1 and 3/4 teaspoon of yeast, and did not cut the flour. The loaf was done without the extra at the top, as some cooks have experienced. A great basic recipe that you can herb-up based on your preferences or the main dish you are making to accompany.

Very tasty bread. Mine wasn't quite crusty enough so it was difficult to slice.

Excellent. Didn't change a thing. Very flavorful. Did not reach the top of the bread machine like others had complained about.

I took the advice from other reviews and only put in 1 tbsp sugar. it was perfect.

I made the recipe as written. Turned out delicious. Great balance of the herbs not overwhelming. It was a great accompaniment to homemade chicken noodle soup. The bread was perfect.

This worked great. I'm at 6400 feet, so I reduced the flour by 1/4 cup, removed a pinch of yeast from one packet and kept true to the rest of the recipe. Turned out perfect using my Cuisinart compact breadmaker set for light crust and 2 lb loaf. Delicious! I had it with my dinner last night warm. This morning I toasted a couple pieces and ate them buttered with my morning avocado omelet. This afternoon, I had a couple slices drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with course fresh ground pepper. So far, the olive oil and pepper has been my favorite.

My family likes this bread very much. I have also made it adding a tablespoon of ground sun dried tomato + subbing 1/2 cup rye flour- perfect for making avocado toast!

This is absolutely the best bread I've ever made. With or without the spices. The only change I made to this recipe is using bread flour instead of all purpose flour. It just about pushes the top of the bread machine open it gets so large.

I was disappointed with this bread. For the first time in years, my loaf collapsed. The herb bread recipe that came with my bread machine is good, so I will go back to that one.

If you want to use this as regular bread then don’t use herbs, and the times that I have made it I didn’t put herbs in it. And that works out for me, definitely a good recipe!?
