Ingredients
  • 1/3 c extra-virgin olive oil .
  • 1 3/8 c warm water .
  • 2 tsps herbes de provence .
  • 1 c whole wheat flour .
  • cornmeal, for dusting baking sheet .
  • 2 1/4 tsps salt .
  • 3 1/3 c bread flour .
  • 1/4 oz active dry yeast (1 pkg. or 2 tsp)

Directions
  • Step #1 Place the herbs in a small dish & pour in the olive oil.
  • Step #2 Allow to steep for at least 15 mins, & the longer, the better.
  • Step #3 Place all remaining ingredients except cornmeal in your bread machine following sequence recommended by manufacturer.
  • Step #4 Start the dough cycle.
  • Step #5 As the dough mixes, drizzle on the olive oil until incorporated.
  • Step #6 The dough should form a smooth ball: add small amounts of flour or water (or extra olive oil) until the dough looks right - the exact proportions depend on many factors.
  • Step #7 Allow to rise in bread machine.
  • Step #8 Remove from machine, punch down.
  • Step #9 If making a loaf, form into an oval loaf & place on cornmeal-dusted baking sheet.
  • Step #10 Cover up & allow to rise until doubled.
  • Step #11 (If making rolls, depending on the size you want, cut into 8 to 12 pieces, & shape as desired.
  • Step #12 Place on cornmeal-dusted baking sheet, cover, & allow to rise until doubled).
  • Step #13 Preheat oven to 375 deg.
  • Step #14 F.
  • Step #15 Place in oven & bake for app.
  • Step #16 40 mins or until bread tests done.
  • Step #17 (Rolls will bake 20 to 30 mins, depending on size - keep an eye on them).
  • Step #18 You know you should let a loaf cool before cutting into it; but when you make rolls, one can always be sacrificed to the cause! Note: I imagine you could bake this in the bread machine, although I've never done so.
  • Step #19 I'd do it on a basic white setting with medium crust.
