Garlic-Herb Bread

Garlic-Herb Bread

This is a bread machine recipe.
Makes 1.5 lb. loaf

1 1/4 c. water
1 tbs. olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3 1/4 c. bread flour
2 tbs. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. Italian herb blend
1 1/2 tsp. yeast

1. Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.

2. Measure, mix together and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to the bread pan.

3. Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast.
Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients.
Measure the yeast and carefully pour it into the well/hole.

4. Snap the baking pan into the breadmaker and close the lid.

5. Press "select" button to choose the Basic setting.

6. Press the "crust color" button to choose light, medium or dark crust.

7. Press the "Start/Stop" button.


This recipe is from the little cookbook
that came with my Oster 2.b Expressbake Breadmaker.

This smells wonderful while baking and is delicious also.

I made this earlier so that we would have bread for sandwiches tomorrow.

Yummy!

Bread

"Farmer, is the harvest ready
For we must have bread?"
"Go and look at all my fields,"
Is what the farmer said.

So we ran and saw the wheat
Standing straight and tall.
"There's your bread," the farmer said.
"Have no fear at all."

"Miller, is the flour ready
For we must have bread?"
"Go and look in all my sacks,"
Is what the miller said.

So we ran and saw the flour,
Soft and white as snow.
"There's your four," the miller said,
As we turned to go.

"Mother, is the oven ready
For we must have bread?"
"Go and open wide the door,"
Is what our mother said.

So we ran and saw the loaves
Crisp and brown to see.
"There's your bread," our mother said,
"Ready for your tea."

Onion-Pepper Bread

Today has been gray and blustery all day with a threat of rain as a cold front is moving down our way. I decided to put my bread machine to use and picked the Onion bread recipe, but added some freshly ground black pepper to it.

The aroma filled the air as it baked and when DH came in after it was done he said, "What is that I smell?" He looked in the kitchen and said, "Oh, bread." We had it for lunch in sandwiches. Yummy!

The recipe came with the book that came with my bread machine, an Oster 2 lb. Expressbake Breadmaker.
