This is my go-to bread! Good with soups, stews, salads or just dipped in olive oil.

Wonderful recipe. I should have posted a long time ago, I’ve been using this recipe for months! Thanks so much!

Like the last two reviewers, my bread turned a bit on the flat side. It was incredibly tasty and the middle was soft, though! I sliced it in long strips (like biscotti), so it was perfect for dipping into soup. Very good!

I had the same experience as xiuxiu. The bread was good, but it seemed like the dough was a bit too wet and it baked up flatter than bread normally does. I think if I were to make it again I’d use a bit more flour and yeast.

Made this yesterday. It came out very tasty and soft, but my bread was kinda flat and round (like a fluffy pancake as my daughter puts it). The dough was very sticky, and really hard to shape into loaf.
I wonder what did I do wrong.

What a a great way to use that jar of herbs I bought and never know what to do with! This looks SO good!

Loved this bread! All homemade bread is good in my opinion, but the herbs in this are just wonderful. I’ve been looking for reasons to use my herbs de provence as well, so this worked out perfectly

I predict this will become the new family favorite! And just in time, my man-children were becoming bored with hearth bread. Surprisingly easy and sooooooo good

Love bread especially herbs added. Never thought to add herbs de provence-all my favorites.

I finally made this yesterday! It was delicious!
I didn’t have any Herbes de Provence in the spice cabinet, but I had some FRESH thyme, rosemary and oregano out in the garden.
I just boosted up the amount of the fresh herbs and added it to the olive oil. I let it sit for a few minutes to infuse. I was so good.
A little trick that I alway do when baking bread like this is to mist it periodically with water. Sort of steams it and gives a nice crust to the bread.
