Wonderful loaf of bread! I used fresh rosemary, dried marjoram and thyme. I added a heaping tablespoon of dried onion flakes. I shaped and baked my loaf in the oven, but mixed the dough in the machine. I baked the loaf about 30 minutes at 350° F. The bread came out extremely moist and so flavorful. This one is going into my file of keepers. Thanks, Bev!

Oh wow! This is sooooo good! I made it to serve with an Italian dinner, but it didn't last long enough. My hubby and I stood around and ate half of it as soon as it came out of the machine! I didn't have any marjoram, so I used oregano in it's place. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. This makes great garlic bread, too! I plan to use it for croutons soon.

mmmmmmmm, good Bev!! I didn't have marjoram or thyme, so I added extra basil, rosemary and onion flakes. Very crusty on outside and just plain yummy on inside. I made it to serve with spaghetti and it is wonderful! I put a little garlic butter on it and placed it under the broiler. Perfect! The leftover bread will be used tonite when I serve a roast. Thanks alot, Bev!

Excellent wonderful tasting bread and the texture was superb for being baked in the bread machine. I followed everything except I used some minced onions in place of the chives, as I didn't have no chives. I submitted a picture, since nobody had put a picture on here yet. I think next time I make it I will shape it and bake it in the oven, as I think it always looks much nicer baked in the oven. I just have to say the smell of it baking was so good. I will also try making croutons out of it as well. Thanks a whole bunch Bev....
