I have a very picky family very resistant to taking nutritive herbs. But they certainly love homemade sourdough. My question is, would the benefits of the herbs survive the baking process and how much would I need to add to be beneficial, if so.
My guess would be that they don’t. Herbs don’t like going above 105 degrees or the medicine starts getting burned off. Herbs can be disguised in juice or smoothies (my favorite way of doing it) or if they won’t go for any of that, you can always encapsulate them
Another great way to sneak in nutritive herbs is to make an herb butter spread. You can make it super yummy. I’ve also hidden them in puddings, home-made ice cream, pasta dishes (just add the herbs to the sauce at the last minute, after it’s cooled a little and stir). Grinding them into powder is a breeze. I just use a cheap, $20 coffee grinder from Walmart.
