Servings: 24
Ingredients:
2 packages active dry yeast(package)
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 cups Organic Valley Whole Milk (scalded)
3 teaspoons sea salt
7 cups all-purpose flour (or sifted spelt)
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
3/4 teaspoon thyme leaf (crumbled)
3/4 teaspoon marjoram (crumbled)
1 teaspoon basil (dried)
1 teaspoon dried parsley (crumbled)
1/2 cup Organic Valley Unsalted Cultured Butter (melted)
Instructions:
Soften yeast in warm (not hot) water, along with 1 tablespoon of honey. Scald milk and remove from heat, then melt the butter in it. Add milk, butter, the remaining honey, salt, and 2 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture. Mix well and cover. Let rise in a warm place until bubbly (about 1 hour).
Crumble and combine the herbs and add to the mixture. Stir in the rest of the flour to make a stiff dough. Knead on floured board until satiny and elastic. Place in greased bowl, cover, and return to the warm place to rise until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
Punch dough down, let rest for 10 minutes and then shape into 2 loaves. Place in greased 9"x 5"x 3"loaf pans. Let rise until doubled in bulk (about 1-1 1/2 hours).
Bake in 375° oven for 50 minutes or until done. Remove and cool on racks. Keep out the reach of children until cool to the touch.
