Recipe Introduction

To use in bread salad: http://www.recipecircus.com/recipes/Magnolias/SALADS_ETC/Bread_Salad.html

List of Ingredients

3 tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1½ tsp. dried basil
3/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
3/4 cup hot water
6 tbsp. milk
1½ tsp. sugar
1½ tsp. salt
2¼ tsp. active dry yeast
3 cups bread flour


Recipe

Heat oil in small skillet; add garlic & herbs. Sauté for two minutes, taking care not to let the garlic scorch or it will turn bitter. If necessary, remove the pan from the heat; the herbs will continue to cook in the oil's heat.

Combine flour, salt, sugar & yeast in mixer bowl with dough hook and stir to mix; add water, milk and herb oil; knead about seven minutes. Allow to rise until double in bulk; punch down and shape into loaf; place in loaf pan. I used a 8" x 4" pan, spritzed with olive oil pan spray. Allow to rise until double in bulk. Bake in preheated 350° oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden color, and sounds hollow when thumped.
