"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1-2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt and herbs. In a saucepan, heat the milk, water and butter to 120 – 130 degrees. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4- 6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough into thirds. Shape each portion into a 15 in rope. Place ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover; let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 – 30 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Combine herbs; sprinkle over bread. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Yield 1 loaf.
