Fresh Herb Batter Bread

I made this to go along with some soup and it was a nice change from rolls.  This is another great Betty Crocker Recipe.

Prep: 10 min  Rise: 40 min  Bake 45 min
1 loaf

3 C. flour--I think I did 1/2 white 1/2 wheat
1 T. sugar
1 tsp. salt
 1 package regular or quick active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 1/4 C very warm water
2 T chopped fresh parsley  (I did 2 tsp. dried)
2 T. butter
1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaves
1/2 tsp chopped fresh or 1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
Butter softened if desired

1, Grease bottom and sides of 8x4 inch or 9x5 inch loaf pan with spray

2. In large bowl, mix 2 C of the flour, the sugar, salt and yeast.  Add warm water, parsley, butter, rosemary and thyme.  Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently.  Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently.  Stir in remaining 1 cup flour (or less if use wheat) until smooth

3. spread batter in pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap lightly sprayed with cooking spray and let rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until double in size.

4. Bake at 375 for 40-45 min or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped.  Remove to wire rack and brush top with butter.  Sprinkle with additional herbs if desired.  Cool.
