Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Active dry yeast
- 25 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 5 grams Hops, dried
- 320 milliliters Water
- 20 milliliters Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by brewing a simple hop tea. Bring 100 milliliters of water to a boil, add the dried hops, and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain and cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix 220 milliliters of warm water, the cooled hop tea, and olive oil.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously to form a sticky dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the gas, then shape it into a loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Brush the top of the dough with a little olive oil, and if desired, make several light slashes on the top with a sharp knife.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
