Ingredients
3 cups of whole wheat flour1 packet of rapid rising yeast1 1/4 cups of warm water1 tablespoon of minced garlic in a jar1 tablespoon of Italian Seasoning3 tablespoons of olive oilOil for brushingCoarse sea salt to taste
In a large bowl:
Combine warm water and yeast. Stir in olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Italian Seasoning, 1 tsp salt and flour.
Work into a dough. Add more flour if dough is too sticky. Turn the dough on a floured surface. (If using a Kitchenaid, mix until the dough forms a dough. Then, let the Kitchenaid knead the dough for five minutes.)
Knead the dough by hand for a few minutes, in a folding motion until dough is smooth and 'happy'. Grease the large bowl with olive oil and plop dough into it. Roll around a few times to coat dough in a gloss of oil. Cover bowl with a warm damp cloth or clean dish towel. Paper towels may sink into dough, so are not recommended.
Place bowl in a warm spot. Perhaps the top of your fridge or high cabinet. Let dough rise for 30-60 minutes. (Quick-rise yeast allows for only a 30 minutes rise time. Regular yeast is about an hour.)
After the rise:
Punch out the dough!One big punch to the dough will do. Place it on your floured surface and knead gently a few more times. With a rolling pin, roll out dough to about 1 inch thick. You may modify this based on how thick you want your bread. Place dough on a baking sheet. Lightly oil it or use parchment paper. Poke rows of holes in the dough with your finger or the end of a wooden spoon. Brush top of dough with a mixture of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of additional Italian Seasoning and minced garlic. Sprinkle some course sea salt on top as well. Cover with the towel and let rise again for 20 minutes, in a warm spot.
Bake:
Place your dough in a 350 degree pre-heated oven. Let bake for about 18-30 minutes (depending on the thickness of the bread), or until a light brown crust forms. Check bread for firmness with a toothpick. Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Store in freezer or eat in a few days.
