ITALIAN HERB BREAD

Bring the taste and smell of italy to your kitchen

Provided by hannah2355

Time 50m

Yield Makes Makes 1 large loaf

Number Of Ingredients 5

500g strong bread flour
7g- a handful of yeast
Pinch of salt
150ml lukewarm water
150ml olive oil- plus a little extra for greasing

Steps:

  • Tip the flour into a bowl and mix in the yeast and salt. Create a well with your hands or the back of the spoon at the bottom of the bowl. Measure out 150ml of both water and oil and stir half of the liquid.
  • Now bring together to make a soft dough- adding what is left of the liquid when needed. I normally use my hand for this bit but a knife or wooden spoon is fine. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for ten minutes- if the bread mix is sticky put flour on your hands. Don't worry if your dough is a bit on the wet side.
  • Oil the bowl you used for the flour and place your dough in the centre- Add a little drizzle of oil over the dough itself as this helps it prove. Cover with cling film- making sure it tightly stretched across the top of the bowl to not let any hot air out and leave in a warm place for 1-2 hrs or till it has doubled in size. Use a spatula to scrape the dough back onto the floured surface you used earlier. Knock back the dough and knead for a further 5 minutes adding the herbs as you go- you can use different herbs then the ones suggested!
  • Place the dough on a baking tray or if you want a proper loaf shape-a loaf tin! and again cover the tray in cling film and leave in a warm place till it doubles in size. When it has done this, uncover and bake your bread at 180C/160 fan/gas 6 for 15- 20 minutes till hollow. Allow the bread to cool for at least 5 minutes before you try to cut or taste the bread.

Time 3h35m

Yield 2 loaves, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon dry yeast
2 cups water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sea salt
2 tablespoons fresh basil
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
6 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Mix yeast, warm water and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside for five minutes, or until mixture becomes foamy.
  • Stir in olive oil, salt, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cheese and 3 cups flour into the yeast mixture.
  • Gradually mix in next three cups of flour. (Dough will be stiff). Knead for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Place in an oiled bowl, turning to cover sides with oil. Cover with a damp linen towel, or plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 hour, or until dough has doubled.
  • Punch down to release all the air. Shape into two loaves. Place loaves on a greased cookie sheet, or into two 9x5 inch, greased pans.
  • Allow to rise for 1/2 hour again, until doubled in a warm place.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
  • Remove loaves from pans and let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes, before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread to rise evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Italian herb bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or used to make sandwiches, croutons, or bread crumbs. It is easy to make and can be made with a variety of different herbs. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect Italian herb bread every time.
