Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 piece Egg, large
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 8x4 inch loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped parsley, thyme, and dried oregano, distributing the herbs evenly through the dry ingredients.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick and lumpy.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of dried herbs over the top for garnish.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
