Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups strong white bread flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp Natural Herbs and Spices Oregano Flakes
- 1 tbsp Natural Herbs and Spices Basil Flakes
- 1 tsp Natural Herbs and Spices Garlic Flakes
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for seasoning
Method
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and olive oil, allowing it to bubble for 5-10 minutes. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and mix well, kneading on a floured surface until you have a smooth dough.
- Let the dough rest for 30-60 minutes until it has risen well. Once risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into 6-8 equal-sized pieces.
- Roll out each piece of dough to resemble bread slices.
- Melt some butter and add the oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic flakes. Brush the dough slices with the herbed butter and stack them in a parchment-lined or buttered bread tin.
- Cover the loaf again to rise while preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Brush the top of the loaf with the herbed butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Allow the loaf to cool slightly before turning it out of the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
