Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 piece Egg, large
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 8x4 inch loaf pan and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
Stir in the chopped parsley, thyme, and dried oregano, distributing the herbs evenly through the dry ingredients.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick and lumpy.
Step 6
Transfer the batter to the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of dried herbs over the top for garnish.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
