Classic Crusty Herbed Dinner Loaf
"Delicious crusty dinner bread loaded with olive oil and herbs. Perfect with every meal and makes a great grilled cheese! If you are not an experienced yeasted bread baker this recipe is a perfect place to start! The 40 minute prep time listed includes proofing. This recipe was originally written by Chef Madeleine Dee and has been slightly adapted to account for my own trials and experience with making it...."
INGREDIENTS
•
1 tablespoon active dry yeast (a fast rising yeast is best!)
•
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
•
1¼ cups warm water (read the yeast package for the best temperature recommendation, but typically you want it just slightly warmer than body temperature.)
•
3 cups all purpose flour, plus more for kneading
•
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to brush over the loaf
•
¾ teaspoons kosher salt, plus a little more for sprinkling on top
•
2 teaspoons fresh herbs OR ½ teaspoon dried (I opted for rosemary - it is the most versatile, but if you have an herb garden or a favorite blend switch it up!)
•
nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper
