We’re talking about fresh hot bread on a Sunday morning straight out of your breadmaker at home.
Herb Your Bread: A Flavour Adventure!
Adding herbs is like sprinkling magic fairy dust! Here’s how to make your bread sing with flavour using your trusty bread maker.
Pick Your Herb Heroes!
- Fresh vs. Dried:
- Fresh herbs are like a party in your mouth, while dried ones bring the flavour concentrate! Choose your champion based on what’s handy.
- Fan Favorites:
- Think rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, and dill – the bread dream team! Mix and match to discover your flavour soulmate.
- Flavour Matchmaking:
- Consider what your bread wants to be when it grows up! Rosemary loves hanging out with olive oil and garlic, while dill prefers rye and whole wheat.
Prepping Your Herbal Sidekicks
- Chop Chop:
- Fresh herbs? Give them a fine chop so their flavour spreads like gossip through the dough!
- Dried Herb Spa Day:
- If you’re going dried, you can treat them to a warm water soak before they dive into the mix although not a necessity.
Time to Add the Herbs!
- Mix It Up:
- Toss those herbs in during the first mixing phase for maximum flavour infusion!
- Measure Up:
- Start with 1-2 tablespoons of fresh herbs or 1-2 teaspoons of dried per loaf. Adjust based on your taste buds.
- Layer It Right:
- If your bread maker has a specific order, don’t forget to sneak those herbs in after the liquids and before the flour!
One of our top picks for this is Taipan BBQ “Mediterranean Magic” with the perfect mix of ingredients including Rosemary, Black Pepper, Lemon Peel, Chilli Flakes, Coriander Seed, Fennel Seed and Thyme.
