Hello all,
Come weather changes we all crave for hot /warm soups but think about the accompaniments.. nice loaf of bread works out best.
Here's to all those soups out there..
Ingredients:
5 cups all purpose flour, plus a little more for kneading
1 tablespoon sugar
1 package active dry yeast
1 3/4 th cup warm water
1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
Method:
Combine yeast, sugar and warm water in a bowl. Put the warm water bowl aside for 15 minutes.
In a bowl combine the flour, salt 1/2 cup olive oil and yeast mixture. Mix the dough. Once the dough comes to a form soft dough transfer the dough to a lightly floured bowl knead gently for 2 minutes and cover it with a plastic wrap and put it in a warm place for 1 hour ( minimum) until the dough doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat your flat oven proof sheet with olive oil and transfer the dough to the pan and flatten it using your fingers..( let kids do it makes them feel the part of helping you cook the meal)
Drizzle your left over olive oil on it sprinkle some salt on it ( at this point you can sprinkle finely chopped garlic or herbs on it )
Cook it in your oven for 25 - 30 minutes( on your center rack), or until the top is golden brown.
Enjoy your bread.
