Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven
    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). A hot oven is key to getting that perfect rise!
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Shallots
    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped shallots until they become translucent and fragrant. This will enhance their sweetness and flavor. Once done, set them aside to cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sea salt, and black ground pepper. This ensures the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
  4. Step 4: Combine the Wet Ingredients
    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and whole milk until well combined. Add the sautéed shallots and give it a gentle stir.
  5. Step 5: Combine and Fold
    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough bread. Gently fold in the feta cheese, chives, mint, and parsley until everything is evenly distributed.
  6. Step 6: Bake
    Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Serve
    Once baked, remove the Herb Bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your freshly baked Herb Bread warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
