Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.75 cup Leek (white and light green parts, finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms (finely chopped, any variety)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
Instructions
Prepare the leek and mushrooms by finely chopping them into small pieces. If desired, sauté them in a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to enhance the flavors, then allow them to cool completely before adding to the bread machine.
Add the water, olive oil, salt, and sugar to the bread machine pan first.
Layer the flour on top of the liquids to create a barrier, ensuring the yeast does not come into contact with the liquids prematurely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Sprinkle the chopped leeks, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese (if using), black pepper, and dried thyme evenly over the top.
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' program with a medium crust setting (or as per your machine's recommendations for savory breads). Close the lid and press start.
The bread machine will mix, knead, rise, and bake the loaf automatically. Check during the mixing cycle to ensure the dough is forming a cohesive ball; if it's too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Once baking is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of Mushroom Leek Bread warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
