Ingrients & Directions


4 3/4 c Flour
2 tb Sugar
2 ts Salt
2 ts Yeast
1 3/4 c Water

I usually add herbs to this (which I never measure, but about 2 tsp total
is pretty flavorful), and top with seeds. I’ve also substituted or added
whole wheat flour(up to 2 cups), wheat and/or oat bran, cheese, oil, dried
garlic and onions, even spinach powder (which turned the bread green; I
thought it looked gross, but everybody else liked it.)

My favorite herb combo is dried, minced garlic (or garlic powder), dill
weed, and dill seed.

I use a mix of seeds for the top, usually sesame, poppy, flax, and caraway.
These would look nice in a bow-tied cellophane bag!
