Fresh bread with herbs

This bread is so easy a 6 year old can make it! Just add a couple of teaspooons of your favorite herbs to Mark Bittman's NY Times no-knead bread recipe (see the video here). I am not a very good bread baker - it takes a warm kitchen for good bread baking. But this recipe has only 3 ingredients and is virtually foolproof and I make great bread from this recipe. Time, not you, does the work. Go here for the recipe. The bread is so good, you will eat the whole loaf in a day! I like to add a combination of rosemary, marjoram and a touch of garlic. Or sometimes a bit of thyme with the other herbs, too. Here's what my golden marjoram looks like in January, when it turns a rainbow of color. See more plants in their winter colors at my garden blog.
