this time of year the weather can be downright crappy. the rain may be incessant and the snowstorms might keep you inside for days at a time. if you’ve found yourself stir crazy AND hungry. try out my quick & easy recipe for bread.
ingredients:
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp coarse sea salt
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp italian seasoning (or if you have chopped, fresh oregano, basil, rosemary and thyme)
heat oven to 375. heavily grease a loaf pan with olive oil. add flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. mix. add in italian seasoning. mix. pour in olive oil, then water (a bit at a time, don’t want to make it too runny.) mix together. (i actually used my hands.) and pour the dough into the pan. press the dough down. wait 10 seconds. flip the dough over, so that the entire thing is covered in the olive oil that coated the pan. sprinkle the top with some extra coarse sea salt. cover the pan with foil and make for 20 minutes. then remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes. the bread will be done when its lightly golden brown on top. serve or freeze within three days. i actually made eggs benedict with this bread, prosciutto and a poached egg and drizzled olive oil on top. the bread is flavorful enough that you don’t need a heavy sauce, like hollandaise, as a topper. yum! enjoy!
That’s a very quick bread. The baking powder is the only thing to give it “spring” eh. No waiting around for yeast to make bubbles. Nice.
