Cinnamon, clove, garlic, oregano and thyme were added at 1 or 2 % in wheat flour in combinations to investigate their effect on rheological and bread making properties. Incorporation of spices and herbs in combination significantly increased the water absorption (%) and dough development time as compared to control; while a decrease in dough stability was observed. Presence of spices and herbs significantly reduced the peak temperature and viscosities of the flour suspension. Bread was prepared by adding above mentioned spices and herbs and analyzed for baking and sensory quality. Spices and herbs significantly decreased the loaf volume and specific volume of the prepared bread. Spiced bread was liked by the panelist. Sensory scores for some combinations were higher than the control bread.
