Ingredients

2 cups water, 110*F

1 tablespoon yeast

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons dried chives

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

5 - 51/2 cups flour

Directions

Sprinkle yeast and sugar over the warm water, stir. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes, until foamy.

Combine 3 cups of flour, chives, garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese and salt. Stir into the water, along with the olive oil. Beat for about 2 minutes.

Add 2 cups of flour until you have a stiff dough.

Turn out onto a floured counter. Knead until smooth, adding flour if needed, just until it doesn't stick to your hands. Try to use no more than an additional 1/2 cup.

Continue to knead until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Place in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in a warm place - about 1 hour.

Turn dough until counter and split into 4 sections.

Form into long thin loaves.

Grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment or a liner. Place all four onto a large baking sheet (or use 2 sheets if you don't have large baking sheets.)

Allow to rise for about 30 minutes, until almost doubled.

Place an oven proof pan filled about 1/3 full of water on the bottom rack of the oven.

Preheat the oven to 375*F, bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

Note: Leave the water filled pan in the oven until cooled down, it is very dangerous to move when hot!

To make a simple crostini:

Allow loaves to cool completely.

Preheat oven to 350*F

Slice bread into thin slices (I use directly down for appetizers and on the diagonal for more of a meal type slice)

You can brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. You can do this without the salt or oil.

Place on a baking sheet.

Bake in oven until golden brown, turning once, about 5 minutes each side. Watch closely so they don't burn.

Allow to cool completely and then store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
