Yummy Herb Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 C. water
- 2 Tbs. vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
- 1 pkg. active dry yeast
- 1 Tbs. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2-2 C. all-purpose flour
- Butter:
- 1/4 C. soft butter
- 1 tsp. garlic powder or granules
- 2 Tbs. minced fresh parsley flakes
- 1/2 tsp. dried basil
- 1 Tbs. chopped chives
- 1 tsp. salt
Directions
Heat the water and oil to 120 degrees. In a bowl combine 1 1/2 C. flour, yeast, salt, sugar and the warm water mixture. Add 1 1/2 C. flour and continue kneading with dough hook on a stand mixer or by hand with a large wooden spoon. If dough is sticky, knead in enough of remaining 1/2 C. flour to form a stiff dough. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let the dough rise until doubled for about an hour.
Punch down and roll out into a 15x18 inch rectangle. Spread with Herb Butter to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up jelly roll style; pinch edge to seal. Place on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Slash the top diagonally several times with a serrated knife. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking 20-25 minutes.
To make herb butter, combine all ingredients together and spread on bread dough before shaping dough into loaf.
