Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Warm water (around 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil, salt, and chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and parsley) to the bowl and stir to combine.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two 8-inch round baking pans or cake pans with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Gently deflate the dough by stirring it a few times with a spatula. Divide the dough evenly between the two prepared pans.
Cover the pans with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 20-30 minutes while the oven preheats.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Brush the tops of the warm bread with melted butter for a glossy finish and extra flavor.
Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
