Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 tsp salt
5g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
72g
1 tbsp basil
4g
1 tsp dried oregano
5g
1 tsp fresh thyme
5g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1g
2 eggs
100g
1 tbsp milk (1% fat)
16g
1/4 cup butter
54g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of self-raising flour, 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp of basil, 1 tsp of dried oregano, 1 tsp of fresh thyme, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Mix these dry ingredients well until evenly distributed.
3. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the finely chopped 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes into the dry mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated and distributed throughout.
4. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 tbsp of milk, and the melted 1/4 cup of butter until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently using a spatula until the mixture is just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
6. Transfer to Pan: Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, leveling the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The bread should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
8. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Slice and serve your herbed bread. Enjoy it on its own, or with a spread of butter, cream cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips:

- Make sure to preheat your oven properly to ensure even baking.

- Use fresh herbs when possible for a more intense flavor.

- If the dough seems too dry, add a bit more milk one teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

- Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil can be used for extra moisture and flavor.

- Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to prevent it from becoming crumbly.

Congratulations! You've successfully baked your own herbed bread. The golden crust and aromatic herbs make this loaf a perfect addition to any meal. Serve it fresh out of the oven or sliced and toasted for an extra crunch. Enjoy the rich flavors and the satisfaction of homemade baking. Happy eating!
