Rustic rosemary - garlic bread


The original idea of this bread is not my own, Jamie made something like this in Jamie at home, and it made me think that I could do a different version with more herbs and not only with plain flour. I'm sure it's totally different than the one he made, but it is really delicious. Not very complicated, can be easily made in the oven and even if you don't have anything else to eat, it's perfect for lunch or dinner. 


Ingredients for a big oven pan
  • a total of 75 dkgs of flour, the percentage of plain and whole grain flour depends on your taste
  • 420 mls of warm water
  • 2 packets of dried yeast
  • 3 teaspoons of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • one big handful of chives
  • a couple of thyme springs
  • 5-6 springs of fresh rosemary
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic chopped
  • olive oil
Measure the flour and mix it with the yeast, the sugar and the salt plus the finely chopped herbs. If you are using a break baking machine, you only have to pour the flour in and then the water and the machine will do the rest. If not, make a whole in the middle of the flour for the water and then you can start kneading the dough until you get a flexible but soft dough. When it is ready, let it raise until it becomes double the original size. Line some baking paper into an oven pan and roll the dough to the size of the pan, lay it onto the pan and sprinkle the olive oil, the garlic and the rosemary leaves onto the dough. Then press your fingers into the dough all over the surface, but not all the way in, just make little "craters". Then put it in the oven at 200 degrees and bake it until the top becomes golden brown.
