Bread anyone?

We love our carbs around here. This morning we went to the garden and picked some fresh herbs ( rosemary, basil, dill, thyme) and also some peppers. There is not too much better than fresh bread with fresh herbs in it. I made this 2 lb loaf in my bread maker with plenty of herbs and a couple of diced pepper. So yummy! This will be great for sandwhiches, or just to eat with our meal. Sometimes I make one that has a ton of garlic, chives and grated parmasan also. It is very good and hearty, especially with soups.
I know that most people think of breads in the winter time, and we eat a ton of bread then, but I think bread is also great in the summer time also. I love using my oven all winter long, but with the heat of summer, the breadmaker is a nice fill in.

  1. We are carb junkies too. Your bread looks delicious! Thanks for the idea about the fresh herbs. I have some thyme and rosemary growing all the time.

  2. How interesting, I just got back into using my bread machine, too! I've made cinnamon raisin bread, cinnamon without raisins, and this morning, herb bread. I should have used my fresh herbs! Guess I'll do that next. In this heat, who wants to heat up the oven?

  4. I don't use a breadmaker, as I like the kneading process, it is a great way to relieve stress
