Tuscan Herb Bread Recipe For Bread Machine
My son with severe food allergies is obsessed with dunking bread into olive oil. While I love bread, I also know that carbs need to be a tad more limited in our Italian household.The olive oil dipping is so much fun, but just adds more calories than I want him to have.Instead, I created a fabulous bread that builds the olive oil and the herbs he dunks in, right inside of the bread.Having an awesome bread maker lets me get very creative and keep the foods allergen-friendly (for our home).Additionally, a bread maker in the house ensures us that we will have fresh bread in an hour.The Tuscany herb bread recipe took a few tries and a little tweaking until I finally got it right.

Bread flour is as important as the yeast.When I make this bread we have King Arthur's Bread Flour in the house. In my particular bread machine, wet ingredients must be in first.Check your maker to learn what must be added first. I never let salt touch the yeast. Measuring cups are a necessity when making bread.Over or under-measuring ingredients can cause epic fails (based on experience, ugh!) Try easy recipes before moving on through recipes that have more ingredients and more steps to follow. Perfection comes in small batches, go small then go big! Herbs can be anything from basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, onion, sage, etc.Define them as you choose, not by my recipe alone.
