Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and the packet of yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
Add olive oil, minced garlic, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls if desired.
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover lightly and let it rise again for 20-30 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, dried oregano, thyme, and parsley.
Brush the herb butter generously over the top of the dough, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
