Italian Herb Bread

A couple days ago I decided to make Manicotti for supper..YUMM! And wanted to make a good homemade bread to go with it!

So I was looking through my BreadMaker's Cookbook and found this DELICIOUS recipe for Italian Bread! WITH an Italian Herb Butter!! I just HAD to try it! So here is the recipe!

I gathered all my ingredients together. There are a lot of different things in this bread, but thats what makes it good!

Added all of it into my BreadMaker
