Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast (1 envelope)
  • 1 cup water , lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups flour , more if needed
  • 1 tbsp herbes de provence (i recommend mccormics)

Directions:

  1. Stir the sugar and yeast into the water, and set aside for 10 minutes to dissolve.
  2. Put the olive oil and salt in a large mixing bowl, and add the yeast mixture.
  3. Beat in 1-1/2 cups/285 g of the flour, until smooth, along with the herbs.
  4. Work in the remaining cup/125 g flour, turning it onto the countertop to knead, until you have smooth, springy dough, 10 to 15 minutes. (I found 15 minutes yeilded a much better bread than 10 minutes).
  5. Cover with a tea towel and set in a warm place to rise to double, about 45 minutes.
  6. Punch the dough down and shape into a loaf. (I shaped mine into a ball by pressing the dough slightly flat, folding in the corners, pinching them together and then flipping the ball over with the pinched corners on the bottom. I then made three long slices in the top for steam to escape. This is how Laura did it on the show.).
  7. Let rise again 30 minutes (or not), and bake at 400ºF/200ºC for 25 minutes until done. I brush the loaf with an egg/milk wash before I bake it, but it's not necessary. The wash is 1 yolk beaten with a tablespoon or two of milk. You can also spray the loaf lightly with water, or put a pan of boiling water in the oven to give the bread a crispy crust.
  8. Let the bread cool a little before slicing to serve.
