Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 15 g Fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 300 ml Water, warm
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 15 ml Honey
- 10 g Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil, salt, and chopped sage leaves to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the flour, about 100 grams at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough becomes too stiff to stir, transfer it to a floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle it with a little additional flour as needed.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then shape it into a round loaf or place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover it again and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Before baking, lightly score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife to create decorative slashes. Optionally, brush the top with a little olive oil for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread has a golden crust and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy its fragrant, herbaceous flavor!
