When I cook pasta or macaroni I tend to fancy the olive bread or generally Italian flavoured doughs. This bread is actually made by inspiration and my 5 year old daughter mixes it and kneads it for me..she loves that! Sooo...if its a rainy Sunday, and there's no bakery open, then try this easy but rich flavoured bread:
Plain flour - enough to make an elastic dough
1 tbs dried yeast
1 large knob of butter
One sprinkle of dried thyme
A good sprinkle of oregano
Salt and pepper
Warm water
You have to judge the flour and water portion by actually pouring in the warm water at the end of the ingredients adding. And knead to make a thick but elastic dough. Leave it a bit to rise and knead on a floured surface. Then shape into a long and sort of thin bread shape. Cut the top into cross shapes and rub olive oil on top gently. Put in the oven at high heat and watch it turn into a loaf, while the kitchen smells of .. Italian bakery!
You can eat with a salad or with pasta of all sorts .. Gusto perfecto!
Cooking and improving recipies,has been my passion for decades now. I have decided to create this blog so more people can eat these as they are masterpieces of the original dish. They are all tried and adored in my dining room by friends and relatives, even my mother in law.The stories in this blog are out of my life and nothing in here is intended to make money. I would love your comments though as this is the ultimate reward I can receive in my effort to e-feed you!
