Description
Looking for a different herb bread? You found it! This is a whole wheat-rye-instant potato flakes bread, flavored with chicken bouillon granules, carrots, dried leeks and herbs, with a little sweetness from the optional prunes, or dried cranberries! This is a perfect bread for sandwiches, soups and stews — dried leeks was an impulse buy while shopping at a small international market — if dried leeks are unavailable in your area, substitute dried onions, or dried chives in this flavorful bread.
