Description
A deliciously easy recipe for Garlic Parmesan Herb Bread that combines flavors of garlic and parmesan with a hint of herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water (about 100-110°F)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 to 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon butter (split for topping)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Combine yeast, sugar, and warm water in a large bowl and let it sit for a minute until foamy.
- Stir in salt, herbs, and garlic until well blended.
- Add 2 cups of flour and parmesan cheese to the bowl and mix to form a sticky dough.
- Gradually add more flour while mixing until the dough is soft and stretchy.
- Oil a bowl and place the dough inside, covering it with a towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Gently punch down the dough and divide it into two balls, shaping them into rounds and placing them on the baking sheet.
- Cover loosely and let them rise for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- Brush half a tablespoon of butter on top of each dough round before baking.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped underneath.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack, and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm with butter or soup.
Notes
- Make sure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
- You can adjust the herbs according to your taste preference.
- For extra flavor, consider adding other cheeses or herbs.
