Superb Herb Bread

SUBMITTED BY: Doris White

"Caraway, poppy seed, sage and nutmeg give this tender bread its superb flavor. 'I received a blue ribbon at our fall festival for this recipe,' notes Doris White of De Land, Illinois. 'My bread machine makes it convenient to prepare the dough for this loaf--it's light, delicious and the wheat flour makes it extra nutritious.'"
