Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the yeast, honey and water. Cover with a towel and allow to sit for about 15 minutes, until nice and bubbly. If it's not bubbly, the yeast is not active.
Step 2
Add flour and salt and mix using a dough hook on speed 2 (or knead by hand) for about 5 minutes or until nice and smooth.

On a floured cutting board or counter divide the dough in half and shape into 2 oblong loaves.
Step 3
Slice three to five lines across the top. I like the lines since it gives nice texture to the bread.

Cover with a dishtowel and let rise for 20 minutes.
Step 4
Brush the tops of the loaves with olive oil and italian seasoning and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Hot and delicious, this bread was a nice compliment to our pork chops. It was a bit heavy for me, but hubby ate probably 3 pieces during this meal. I smothered mine with honey butter while it was still warm so it was a delicious drippy mess. Trust me, it was amazing.

So the next time you’re in the mood for baked bread, give this recipe a shot.  I think it would also be good for the next mornings french toast breakfast. Or top it with tomatoes, balsamic and basil for some yummy bruschetta.

Thanks again Krista!
