1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt

My thoughts:
I had never made such a savory quick bread until today but I am pleased with how well it came out. The dill and yogurt combination is a good one. The yogurt gives it a nice tang and almost yeasty flavor that most quick breads don’t have on account of not having, you know, yeast. I also added that 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour to give it a more wholesome edge but really, I am not a whole wheat flour kind of girl. About 1/2 cup is about all I can take at a time. With this bread I am most proud that I was able to come up with a recipe that rose and tasted good and only yielded one loaf using yogurt, some thing I normally don’t use much of in my baking. The good thing about only posting recipes that I have developed myself is that it constantly forces me to come up with new ideas all the time. Luckily, I haven’t had a recipe fail yet or I’d be wasting all kinds of time and ingredients.
Gr8 post..nice presentation…
Will surely try it out
hmmm interesting sounding bread I must try this sometime. The combination of herbs seems really nice. It must have made your kitchen smell beautiful.
This looks delicious! I love the flavor that herbs give to breads and love yogurt. I think I’ll try this this weekend!
ooh. sounds great. You should submit that to weekend herb blogging
I made this and it came out fantastic! Made it again the next day and gave to a friend, who loved it as well.
This bread rocks! Sally Fallon (Nourishing Traditions) has almost the exact recipe, except you add maple syrup, basil, and subtract the baking powder (soaking the flour overnight in the yogurt helps it to rise). 🙂
This is just the recipe I was looking for! I just made this bread and it’s terrific. Really easy to make and very moist and I discovered a new blog in the process!
