A great bread recipe that's not only easy but versatile too! It goes great with any meal. Add different flavorings to mix things up. I like to add Italian herbs and parmesan cheese.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm water
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus a little more
olive oil, for drizzling
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon instant yeast
dried herbs (optional)
other seasoning (optional)
Directions:
1. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan, then drizzle about 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom.
2. Add all of the ingredients together, and with an electric mixer mix on high for 1 minute.
3. Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared pan, cover the pan with a towel , and let it rise at room temperature for 1 hour, till it's become puffy.
4. While waiting for the dough to rise, preheat the oven to 375°F.
5. Once the dough is done rising gently poke the dough with your finger.
6. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with seasoning, and/or the dried herbs of your choice, if desired.
7. Bake until bread is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
8. Remove it from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
