Herbs in Bread
Gluten Free Herbed Bread
Gluten free herbed bread, that is… this is a recent dietary adjustment at our house.
I combined a gluten free bread mix from Bob’s Red Mill along with another GF bread recipe I found. I tossed in some herbs, ( see below) a variety of seeds, and baked the whole thing into a large round loaf. Surprisingly it turned out very nicely!
I never know what I’ll get when I start to experiment like this – sometimes I get carried away… *blush*
It made a flavorful heavy/hearty “whole grain” style loaf. When paired with a steaming hot mug of beef stew, the herb bread was the perfect “dunking” companion.
I have long added herbs to my ‘regular’ flour breads and rolls, and now continue to experiment with my gluten free breads. Thankfully there are many great GF blogs I follow for great recipe ideas! If you are interested let me know and I’ll post a few of my favorites.
Here are some herbs to add to your breads. Try pairing a few of them together, or for your first try, you might just go with a single herb. Adding seeds such as caraway, dill, coriander, and others can add great flavor to breads and rolls, too!
You could also do plain bread or rolls served with an herb butter. Herbed butter is SO easy to make and really delicious with vegetables or breads. OK, with anything really.
Yum!
Yes…PLEASE share the GF recipes. Our home is almost GF as our son has been for years. With all I have read of late….it looks to be an incredibly healthy route for all of us!!
Thanks so much!!
For the bread I usually do a Bob’s Red Mill Whole Grain mix and add several cups of Jules GF flour mix-doubling everything else in the Bob’s recipe and following that recipe. I add whatever herbs sound good at the time (or are handy) and bake according to the Bob’s Red Mill recipe. Doing it this way makes two really yummy loaves that are hearty without being really gooey/heavy.
Her pumpkin and eggnog GF cake balls are big favorites here around the holidays! If you stop in, tell her I said “Hi”
