INGREDIENTS
All-Purpose flour - 1 Ibs.
Active dry yeast - 1/2 tbsp.
Salt - 1/2 tbsp.
Sugar - 1/2 tbsp.
Water - 1 1/2 cup (room temperature)
Baking enhancer - 1/2 tsp. (optional)
Garlic - 1 clove (crushed)
Parsley - 1/3 cup (dry)
Basil - 1/3 cup (dry)
Rosemary - 1/4 cup (dry and chopped)
Butter - 1 tbsp.
Mozzarella - 2 cups (grated)
Method of preparing the
Bread:
Mix half the water, the dry yeast, the baking enhancer, the flour,
the sugar, and salt into the mixer bowl and turn it on.
Add the
remaining water gradually, kneading until you get a uniform dough.
Add the olive oil to the bowl and knead for about 2 minutes (add
flour if the dough is too sticky), continue to work the dough for about 5
minutes until it separates from the sides of the bowl.
Allow the dough to rise for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours or until it
doubles in size.
Once it rises, beat the dough to knock it down and let
it rise again.
After the second rise, remove the dough from the bowl onto a lightly
floured work surface and roll out into a 50 x 25 cm sheet.
Butter the top of the dough sheet and sprinkle with crushed garlic,
the herb mixture, and grated cheese, and roll into a loaf.
Place the
loaf in a baking pan, let the bread rise for about 15 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven for about 40 minutes until
the top turns golden brown, remove the bread from the oven and let it
cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
