Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 1/2 c all-purpose flour (6 1/2 cups, if needed)
2 pkg active dry yeast
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 c water
1 c plain yogurt
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp dill weed
1/2 tsp dried chives
1/4 tsp EACH dried oregano, thyme & basil

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and
salt. In a small saucepan, heat water and yogurt to 120-130°. add to
flour mixture; mix well. Add oil, herbs and enough of the remaining
flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until
smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning
once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled,
about 1 hour. Punch dough down; shape into two loaves. Place in two
greased 8x4x2 inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about
1hour. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
from pans to cool on wire racks.
