Braided bread always looks so beautiful when served. Though I love a good traditional white Braided Loaf, this herbs and butter braid is not too far away. The added herbs and butter takes a traditional white bread loaf up a notch (or two, or three ?.) Don’t feel intimidated by making a homemade braided bread loaf. It truly is easy and not much can go wrong during the preparation or baking process.
