Herb Bread Made Special for Company

“This fragrant bread has been our company special for 20 years,” Mrs. H. W. Beach writes. “A hand-me-down from my mother, it is wonderful with any meal, but especially good at barbecue time.”

MOTHER’S HERB BREAD

1 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon celery flakes

1 teaspoon beau monde seasoning

1 teaspoon sage

1/2 teaspoon summer savory

1/2 teaspoon rosemary

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon chervil

3 tablespoons minced parsley

1 large loaf sliced sourdough bread

Combine butter, garlic powder, celery flakes, beau monde, sage, summer savory, rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, chervil and parsley. Stir well to blend.

Spread between slices of bread, brushing any remaining on top. Wrap securely in foil and bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes. Makes about 10 servings.
