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 minutes.  Place in a greased bowl, turning

about 1 hour.  Punch dough down; shape into two loaves.  Place in two
greased 8x4x2 inch loaf pans.  Cover and let rise until doubled, about
1hour.  Bake at 375  for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove
from pans to cool on wire racks.
