A couple days ago I decided to make Manicotti for supper..YUMM! And wanted to make a good homemade bread to go with it!
So I was looking through my BreadMaker's Cookbook and found this DELICIOUS recipe for Italian Bread! WITH an Italian Herb Butter!! I just HAD to try it! So here is the recipe!
I gathered all my ingredients together. There are a lot of different things in this bread, but thats what makes it good!
Added all of it into my BreadMaker
And here is the final product!!
