Ingredients:

Serving

1 package dry yeast
1 cup warm water (105o to 115o)
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp marjoram leaves
3/4 tsp dried whole dill
3/4 tsp dried whole thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp shortening
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
poppy seeds

Directions:

Dissolve yeast in water in a small mixing bowl. Let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly.
Combine sugar, salt, marjoram, dill, thyme, and rosemary in a large mixing bowl; mix well. Add shortening and dissolved yeast, stirring well. Gradually add flour, stirring until dough leaves sides of bowl. Let rest 10 minutes.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down; turn out onto a floured surface. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or cheesecloth, and let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 12- x 9-inch rectangle. Roll up each rectangle jellyroll fashion, starting at long end. Pinch seams and ends together to seal. Place loaves, seam side down, in 2 heavily greased baguette pans. (Baking sheets may be used instead of baguette pans.)
Cut 6 diagonal slashes, 3/4- inch deep, in each loaf. Cover and repeat rising procedure 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Brush with butter; sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake an additional 5 minutes. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
