Tarragon Bread



Andrew of spitoon Extra host the April edition of Waiter there´s something in my... . He invites all food bloggers to bake bread.
Here I am with an inviting tarragon bread.
Ingredients:
350 g spelt flour
1 portion of dry yeast
0,25 l buttermilk
salt
leaves of 3 stems of tarragon thinly sliced makes about 1/4 tea cup
Preparation:
Mix flour and yeast and pour buttermilk just a bit heated in. Kneat thouroughly. Then let rest in a warm place for 20 minutes. Kneat again and include tarragon. This takes its time. Form a loaf to be put in a bread baking form and let it rest again for half an hour. Preheat oven at 250°C/220°convection/gas oven. Bake the bread for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 150°/130°C and bake again for 55 minutes.
Enjoy it!
The benefits of tarragon can be read here at the end of the post.

I love tarragon!
The thought of that bread, still warm, with fresh butter....
Or with a bit of smoked salmon....

@ katie,
you are right that would be yummy!
@ Ulrike,
einmal gepflanzt, wuchert er bei mir seit Jahren! Eine Kräuterschnecke ist die beste Umgebung, nebenan Sauerampfer und Oregano.
@ Andrew,

Sounds delicious, must try it. Nothing like the smell of fresh warm bread.

I imagine that tarragon bread tastes really good, even if I've only used tarragon to season salads and chicken dishes until now. Got to change that!!

I used sage in my bread, but I bet tarragon would have been great, too! Thanks for the recipe.
