DIY Herb Blend for Herb Bread

• 4 teaspoons onion powder
• 4 teaspoons dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon ground anise
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground caraway
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (whole or ground)
• 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
• 1/2 teaspoon dried savory
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (whole or ground)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Stir together all the spices. That's it! Stir into bread dough along with the flour.

MAKE-AHEAD TIPS I always make a double or triple batch. With a triple batch, I use one right away, then what's left fits perfectly into a spice jar for future loaves of My Herb Bread.

ALANNA's TIPS With so many spices, if you don't have one or two, no problem, just look for something else in your spice cupboard or bump up the quantity of one you do have and especially like. With substitutions, do stick with the savory spices, though, not the cinnamons and nutmegs. The two essentials are the onion powder and dried parsley.

HOW TO USE HERB BREAD Morning toast, Fried Bread (that's just skillet-toasted bread) or sliced thin and toasted for crostini. Burger buns and sandwich rolls. Sliced or toasted for smoked salmon, cream cheese spreads and open-faced veggie sandwiches. Mini rolls filled with thin-sliced rare beef with a little horseradish sauce and a few leaves of arugula. So much herby goodness!
