Recipe: Buttermilk Herb Quick Bread

BUTTERMILK HERB QUICK BREAD

1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for topping)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with foil or waxed paper.

In a bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients except the sesame seeds.

In a smaller bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, money, and oil. Stir the wet mixture into the flour mixture and combine until just blended. Spoon the batter into a foil or waxed paper-lined 8-by-4-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the batter with sesame seeds.

Bake at 350F, preheated, for 45 to 50 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Turn out and cool on a rack.
