Yogurt And Herb Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup unbleached white flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 tablespoons melted butter
    2 large beaten eggs
    1 cup firm yogurt
    1/3 cup light honey
    1 teaspoon dried dill
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/2 teaspoon dried basil
    1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
    1 tablespoon parsley flakes, dried (optional)
    1 tablespoon chives, dried (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    Sift together the 1st 5 ingredients. Make a well in the center of the bowl.
    Beat together (high speed on an electric mixer) the next 4 ingredients for 3-5 minutes ~ until frothy. Add the herbs, and beat well.
    Pour the liquid - herb mixture into the well in the center of the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended.
    Pour into a well-buttered loaf pan, and bake 40-50 minutes (until knife inserted into center-of-bread comes out clean).
    Note: The flavors of the herbs get stronger as the bread ages ~ you will have a chance to notice this if the bread sits around for several days before it is completely devoured.
