Italian Herb and other almost homemade breads

Fresh bread is the best even if it isn't homemade!!  This is an Italian Herb bread that I made this morning so that my friend Ann and I could have it with lunch today.  It was super yummy with a hint of rosemary.  I threw it in the bread machine this morning and when we got back from storytime at the library, we had the completed loaf of bread (and still warm).  As I said today, the bread machine is like a carb crock pot :)

As much as I would like to say that this is a homemade bread, it comes from a box.  It is Fleischmann's Simply Homemade No Knead Bread Mix.  They have Country White, Muli-Grain, Stoneground Wheat, and of course Italian Herb.  The only one that I have left is Stoneground Wheat :(  

I thought they were really great and the bonus is that they are really easy recipe for someone without a bread machine with stir, rise and bake instructions listed on the back of the box.  It doesn't involve a ton of kneading or other time consuming steps.  Make sure you check them out the next time you are at the grocery store.  They can be found on the baking aisle of most stores near the flour and other baking mixes with a price around $2.99.  I hope that if you want fresh bread, you check out a box for yourself :)
