This had a wonderful flavor, but I think the amount of yeast is too much. Mine also collapsed from the top about 1/4 of the way down the loaf. 2 teaspoons of yeast I think would work. I will give this another try, when I have fresh herbs in the garden ( I used dried this time).

I'm not sure what happened. The bread is wondefully moist and very tasty. BUT mine collapsed in the middle/top. And the crust was too hard eventhough I put it on the lightest setting. I might have to try this one again...

Ditto ellie2! Excellent bread. Even the kids didn't mind the "green" stuff! Actually will use this recipe sans herbs for my basic white bread recipe - came out better than the one I've been using.

Excellent bread that came out perfect. I especially liked this bread because it made good use of my garden herbs. Thanks Barb for posting this keeper recipe. We will be making it often--even after gardening days are over.
