Herb Casserole Bread

Taste of Home's Holiday & Celebrations Cookbook

I'm a fairly experienced baker and have tried many recipes through the years. My family and I put this tried-and-true casserole bread at the top of our list. —Kelly Kirby, Westville, Nova Scotia

SERVINGS: 16

CATEGORY: Breads

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 35 min.

Ingredients:

  • 4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons butter or margarine, divided
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt, oregano, basil, thyme and garlic powder. In a saucepan, heat the milk, water and 1/4 cup butter to 120°-130°. Add to the dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
    Punch dough down; turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a round loaf. Place in a greased 2-qt. round baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes. Melt remaining butter; brush over dough. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 loaf.
