Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 C flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a small saucepan, heat water and yogurt to 120 - 130F. 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 min. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hr. Punch dough down; shape into 2 loaves. Place in two greased 8 x 4 x 2" loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hr. Bake at 375F for 35 - 40 min or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks.

Yield: 2 loaves (32 slices)
