The directions fill a loaf pan with balls, for a special presentation. This can also be shaped into s standard loaf or a round loaf. Posting this in response to a request. I have not yet tried it, but I will! Times are estimates. Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast |
1 1/4 cups lukewarm milk |
1 tablespoon salt |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon oregano, dried |
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese |
3 -3 1/2 cups flour |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
2 tablespoons fresh grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Dissolve the yeast in the milk; Add salt, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon oregano, and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
2. Add flour a little at a time; When dough is manageable, turn out dough onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
3. Place in bowl lightly oiled with olive oil; Rise for 1 hour in dark, warm place until dough has doubled.
4. Knead dough for 2-4 minutes; Divide dough into 20 equal pieces, roll each piece into a ball; Butter large loaf pan and place 14 of the balls on the bottom in 2 rows, 7 in each row; Brush with olive oil; Place remaining 6 balls down the middle on top of the other 14; Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oregano and 2 tablespoons parmesan.
5. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 400 degrees.
7. The balls will produce a beautiful, mountainous surface on the bread- a real conversation piece!
