Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.75 cup vegetarian bacon, chopped
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together until evenly distributed.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir together with a wooden spoon or spatula until a rough dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the vegetarian bacon by pan-frying it in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead in the chopped vegetarian bacon, sliced green onions, dried thyme, dried oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly incorporated.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it again and let it rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has finished its second rise, remove the cover and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
