Italian Herb Bread Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Mix yeast, warm water, and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes or until foamy.
  • Stir olive oil, salt, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cheese, and 3 cups flour into the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the next three cups of flour. Dough will be stiff.
  • Knead dough for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and rubbery. Place in an oiled bowl, and turn to cover the surface of the dough with oil. Cover with a damp linen dish towel. Allow to rise for one hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Punch dough down to release all the air. Shape into two loaves. Place loaves on a greased cookie sheet, or into two greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about a 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Remove loaves from pan(s), and let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  • *I use quick rise yeast and adjust my rising times to match. The first rise is only 15min, punch down, form into loaves and let rise 30 min before baking.*
  • * This works great as a pizza dough or calzone dough. I bake one loaf and freeze the other half of the dough until I'm ready to use it. Dough take 4-5 hours to thaw, let rise 30 min before baking*
