I am looking a two different recipes for Herbes de Provence bread.

One calls for 1 Tbsp of herbes to go with 1 cup of water and 2 1/2 cups of flour.  It also calls for 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, yeast, etc.

The other calls for 1/2 cup of herbes to go with 1 1/4 cup water and 3 cups of flour. It also calls for 1/4 cup liqueur, salt, and yeast.

That is quite a difference.  I am inclined to try 2 Tbsp of herbes with the first recipe. 1/2 cup seems like a LOT.

Any opinions?
