Preparation:
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together holding back on some of the flour until you see that it is needed. Knead dough 5-10 minutes or until dough is smooth. Cover and let rise until double in size. Punch down and form into desired shapes-baquettes,round loaves etc. Bake at 375* 20-30 minutes depending on loaf size. By adding fresh chopped herbs and some roasted garlic to this dough you can come up with some very flavory breads. |
