The Food of Downton Abbey: Herb Cottage Bread

Bread: It was as much a staple of the Downton era kitchens as any food. Freshly baked breads were served at every meal and the leftovers were often turned into other dishes.

In the book "Edwardian Cooking: 80 Recipes Inspired by Downton Abbey's Elegant Meals," there is a section devoted to the breads of the Abbey. This bread (not in the cookbook) was quite popular and includes a cheese originated in England... Cottage Cheese.

This is one of those breads which is very hard to stop eating. You have an incredible moist texture and every single bite is laden with herbs (fresh herbs from the Abbey gardens). It is a very simple bread to make at home but be warned, the dough is very sticky and unlike most other breads.
