PEPPER-HERB BREAD

Category: Bread

1 tbsp olive oil
1 green onion, chopped
1 tsp dried rosemary, crumbled
1 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
1/2 tsp dried rubbed sage
1 lb white bread dough
2 tsp pepper

Heat oil in heavy small skillet over medium-low heat. Add green onion, rosemary, thyme and sage and saute until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Place dough in medium bowl. Add herb mixture and pepper and knead until combined.

Grease a pan. Pat dough into rectangle, roll up into loaf shape and place in prepared pan, seam side down. Cover and let rise in warm draft-free area, until doubled, 45 minutes or less.

Preheat oven to 375. Bake bread until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, about 25 minutes. Turn bread out onto rack and cool completely before serving. Serves 16.
