Herb Bread
- 3 12 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon garlic powder
- 34 ounce fast rise yeast (1 package, I like Red Star Quick Rise)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup hot water (not boiling, but hot)
- Set aside 1 cup of flour (for dusting).
- Mix all of the dry ingredients except for the flour in the first step.
- Melt the butter in the water in a separate bowl.
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients together by hand with a wooden spoon.
- Knead dough on counter for 5 minutes.
- Let rest in greased pan for 10-20 to rise.
- Put it in a warm place (On top of the pre-heated oven works great) and make sure to put a damp paper towel over everything while its rising.
- Roll out on the counter and roll up like a jelly roll.
- I like to brush a little bit of melted butter over everything before I roll it, but thats optional.
- Let rest in greased pan for another 30-49 minutes.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- Stab with a wooden skewer through the middle to check if its done- when you pull the skewer out and its clean, the bread is done.
- If there is still some dough-goo on it, let the bread bake for a few more minutes.
- You can add more of the herbs or switch them entirely; this recipe is very flexible and great to experiment with.
- This also makes AMAZING pizza dough!
- You can also use this recipe to make great homemade cinnamon rolls!
- All you have it do is this:.
- Use the same ingredients except for the oregano, basil, and garlic.
- Put in a little bit of cinnamon (to taste) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
- When you get to step 7, slather on lots of butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon (all to your preference).
- Roll it all up and slice.
- Melt more butter and cinnamon in the baking pan and put the slices in whatever pan you prefer.
- Bake for 15 minutes Make an easy vanilla glaze to put on top.
- Obviously this is not a healthy recipe....
- Which is why it tastes so good!
- You can put in as much butter, brown sugar, etc as you like, its a very flexible recipe.
