Time 55m

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 large beaten eggs
1 cup firm yogurt
1/3 cup light honey
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 tablespoon parsley flakes, dried (optional)
1 tablespoon chives, dried (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Sift together the 1st 5 ingredients. Make a well in the center of the bowl.
Beat together (high speed on an electric mixer) the next 4 ingredients for 3-5 minutes ~ until frothy. Add the herbs, and beat well.
Pour the liquid - herb mixture into the well in the center of the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended.
Pour into a well-buttered loaf pan, and bake 40-50 minutes (until knife inserted into center-of-bread comes out clean).
Note: The flavors of the herbs get stronger as the bread ages ~ you will have a chance to notice this if the bread sits around for several days before it is completely devoured.
