Lemon-Thyme Bread
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling
YIELD: 1 loaf (12 pieces).
Lemon and thyme go together like milk and cookies. Fresh thyme is best, but if you must use dried, reduce the amount to 1 tablespoon and crush it between your fingers before adding it to the batter. —Cathy Tang, Redmond, Washington
