Herb And Honey French Bread
- 1 tablespoon active yeast
- 5 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon caraway seed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Use a spatula to roughly combine all of the ingredients. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Attach the dough hook to the stand mixer and knead on medium for 5 minutes. Cover and let rise for 60 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Punch down the dough, transfer to the lined baking sheet, and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf and let rise for another 60 minutes.
- Place a second baking sheet on the bottom rack of your oven and preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Dust the loaves with a sprinkling of flour and use a serrated knife to make three cuts on the top of each loaf.
- Transfer the loaves on the lined baking sheet to the middle rack of the preheated oven. Carefully pour about a cup of water onto the hot baking pan on the bottom rack. Quickly close the oven door. Bake for 30 minutes.
