directions

  • Mix the hot water with yeast, sugar and salt.
  • If yeast begins to expand continue with the recipe.
  • Stir in 3 cups of the flour and beat with electric beaters.
  • Stir in the cheese (or olive oil) and herbs.
  • It's fun trying different combinations every time.
  • I like to crush the herbs in a mortar and pestle first.
  • If you cut the cheese into 1 inch cubes you'll get nice pockets of melted cheese.
  • Stir in the other 3 cups of flour.
  • It should be too thick to use electric beaters by now.
  • Cover the bowl of batter with a damp towel and let rise for about half an hour or until it reaches the top of the mixing bowl.
  • Coat 2 bread pans with olive oil and for tasty crusts lightly salt the pans.
  • When the dough rises divide it into the 2 bread pans.
  • Don't be afraid to mash it.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Let dough rise in pans for another half hour or until it reaches the tops of the pans.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes until it is cooked through and golden on top.

  1. The only confusing portion of the directions was the part about watching the yeast. I've never baked bread before so I had no idea what I was looking for. You're looking for "foam". I made mistakes left and right (this is my first time though), didn't have anything to add to it but olive oil, didn't grease the pan enough and it still turned out AMAZING. I wonder how black olives and mushrooms would taste in this...
     
  2. What a great bread recipe. I made a few changes that you might like.I took 4 chopped garlic cloves and lightly browned them in the olive oil. I added the olive oil and garlic into the mixture prior to the bread raising.I also put 1/2 Tbs. of basil leaves into the mixture before raising.In one corner of the oven I placed an extra bread pan with about 15 ice cubes, the same time I placed the bread into the oven and the crust was nice and tough and crunchy. Great taste and great texture.
     
  3. Easy and tasty bread. I used fresh rosemary and thyme and it worked out well. Awesome fresh from the oven. I'd recommend heating it in the microwave or oven before serving leftovers. I halved this recipe with success. Thanks for posting.
     
  4. There's good, and there's OMG good. This recipe is the latter. I will NEVER buy artisan bread because this is soooooo easy (and cheap). And two 2hours after pulling it out of the oven my kitchen still smells yummy. I used Olive oil and rosemary from my yard.
     
  5. Very good bread. I almost forgot the herbs..tossed in about a teaspoon of dried oregano just before setting to rise. The whole process was just as described in the recipe....my bread turned out just like the photos....and it tastes so good!
