1
Prior to placing ingredients in breadmaker, fill the container with water.
-
2
It needs to accomodate at least 11 cups of water.
-
3
If it has that capacity, you can dump the water out and proceed.
-
4
The dough makes a large amount and does rise to the top of the container.
-
5
Place all ingredients in bread machine in order suggested by the manufacturer.
-
6
If desired, you can hold off placing the herbs into the machine and wait until forming the loaves to place on top of bread.
-
7
Set machine to dough cycle.
-
8
When cycle is complete, punch dough down and knead a few times on a lightly floured surface (the dough should remain somewhat sticky).
-
9
Place dough in oiled bowl, turn to coat with the oil, cover, and allow to rise again until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
10
Ten minutes prior to rising is finished preheat oven to 400u00b0F Lightly grease two baking sheets (I line them with Silpat sheets).
-
11
After dough has risen the second time, press air out and divide dough in half (dough will still be sticky, do not use more flour).
-
12
Press (using your hands) each half with a light touch into approximately an 8 x 11-inch rectangle on the individual prepared pans (rustic looking is okay, but don't press too flat).
-
13
Brush with olive oil.
-
14
If you haven't already added the herbs into the dough, scatter garlic, oregano, rosemary, marjoram, peppers, and parsley over surface of each and press lightly.
-
15
Sprinkle with salt.
-
16
Bake about 20-30 minutes or until a light golden.
-
