Herb Bread

Ingredients

• 0.5 cube fresh yeast (21 g)
• 500 g wheat flour type 1050 (+ extra for dusting the work surface)
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 4 Stalks Parsley
• 3 stalks thyme
• 1 sprig rosemary
• 1 stalk oregano

Instructions

1. 1.

   Dissolve the yeast in 250 ml lukewarm water and let it rise for 5–10 minutes. In a bowl mix the flour with the salt, create a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, then knead with an electric hand mixer’s dough hooks until smooth. If the dough feels too wet, add more flour; if too dry, add a little more lukewarm water.

2. 2.

   Knead the dough on a floured work surface by hand for about 10 minutes, shape it into a ball and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.

3. 3.

   Wash the herbs, shake off excess moisture and finely chop them.

4. 4.

   Knead the dough again to incorporate the herbs. Cut the dough into four portions, form each into small balls, and place them on parchment-lined baking trays. Let them rise once more for 15 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan; gas: level 3) for about 30 minutes.

5. 5.

   Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool, and serve.
