Rapid Italian Onion and Herb Bread- Bread Machine Recipe
1 1/3 cups water
3 Tablespoons powdered milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons butter
3 3/4 cups white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 Tablespoons dried onion (I used Tastefully Simple's Onion Onion.  This stuff is amazing!)
2 teaspoons yeast

Add ingredients in the order listed into the baking pan.  Insert baking pan into the oven chamber, twist to secure.  Close lid.  Select: Rapid Bake Setting. Select "regular" or "dark" crust, depending on personal taste. Press Start- There will be a 5-minute preheat delay before mixing begins.

Using oven mitts, remove bread when completion beeps sound.  Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

I baked this bread at 8:00 at night, and goodness it got everyone hungry!  This bread turned out amazing. While it was baking, the house smelled so heavenly, like a pizza shop.  It slices beautifully, with minimal crumb, and it is very soft.  This makes for the perfect butter bread, but it is also great for sandwiches and easy garlic toast.  I am so thrilled with this recipe.  It is a new favorite in our house.

look how tall this baby is!
