Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, dried parsley, dried basil, and dried thyme.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the yeast mixture and the milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or a spatula until a thick, sticky batter forms. Make sure no dry spots of flour remain.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 7

Stir the risen batter to deflate it slightly, then transfer it to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula or wet fingertips.

Step 8

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
