Ingredients
Bread Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option) Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend if needed.
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ tsp)
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F) Ensure the water is warm but not too hot to activate the yeast.
- ¼ cup olive oil Extra for brushing on the dough.
- 2 tbsp maple syrup Adds a touch of sweetness.
- 4 cloves garlic, minced For a rich garlic flavor in the bread.
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- Fresh parsley for garnish Adds a fresh taste and visual appeal.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and maple syrup. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center, and pour in the yeast mixture along with olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, combine minced garlic, dried oregano, and basil in a small bowl.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Brush the dough with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle the garlic mixture evenly over it.
- Cut the dough into strips, then cut each strip into squares. Stack the squares and place them in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover the loaf pan with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For the best results, find a warm and draft-free area for your dough to rise. Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic and freeze for up to a month.
