Garlic-Thyme Bread
- 1 package dry active yeast
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 - 1 1/2 cup white flour
- cornmeal, for dusting
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine yeast and water, and allow to stand in a warm place for 10 minutes or until foamy.
- Stir in oil, salt, garlic, thyme, and whole wheat flour.
- Add white flour 1/4 cup at a time, as needed, until a stiff manageable dough is formed.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 10 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled.
- (For even more garlicky flavour, after the dough has risen once, punch it down and place in refrigerator for 1 to 3 days. Let it come to room temperature, and then proceed with the following directions.) Preheat oven to 450u0b0 and dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
- If desired, work a bit of parmesan-reggiano into the dough at this point with some olive oil for extra flavour.
- Form the dough into a round, place on prepared cooking sheet, cover with plastic, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Brush lightly with cold water, bake for 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 400u0b0 and continue baking for 20-30 minutes, or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
