Experiment with herbs and spices to achieve a well-balanced flavor profile, enhancing your homemade bread.
Choose between fresh and dried herbs (considering their intensity) and adjust quantities accordingly for optimal taste.
Match herbs and spices with bread ingredients. For example, rosemary pairs well with olive bread or thyme with garlic.
Use herb-infused oils for added depth. Infuse olive oil with basil or garlic for a flavorful twist.
Add delicate herbs like parsley towards the end of mixing, preserving their freshness and potency in the bread.
Toast spices before grinding for a heightened flavor experience. Cinnamon or cumin takes on richer notes when toasted.
Test herb and spice combinations in small batches to refine your preferred flavor profile in homemade bread.
