Warm, buttery bread laced with a generous mix of herbs. This version is inspired by the beloved Best of Bridge Herb Bread, baked in foil until tender and fragrant.

Searing the Beef

Inspired by Best of Bridge Herb Bread.
Slice bread without cutting through the base for a pull-apart effect.
Fresh herbs can replace dried if available (use triple the amount).
Best served warm straight from the oven.

Notes

Preheat oven to 350°F 175°C.

In a bowl, blend butter with garlic powder, celery salt, and herbs.

Slice the bread into thick pieces, keeping the bottom crust intact. Spread herb butter between slices and over the top.

Wrap the loaf in foil and bake for 30 minutes until hot and fragrant. Serve warm.

Loaded with butter and herbs, this bread is baked wrapped in foil until soft inside and aromatic throughout. It’s a comforting side to soups, pasta, or roast dinners, and it draws its inspiration from the classic Best of Bridge Herb Bread, a recipe many families grew up sharing at their tables.

about me

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
