Bread with herbs
These are soft and spongy little breads…
. 500 g of all purpose wheat flour
. 25 g of bread yeast
. 5 teaspoons of sugar
. 2 teaspoons of salt
. 4 tbsp of olive oil
. 25 g of butter
. 150 to 200 ml of tepid milk
. some green onion minced (or fresh thyme leaves, or rosemary leaves if you prefer).
In a little bowl mix the yeast, sugar and some tbsp of the tepid milk. Allow to rise for 15 minutes. Pour the flour in a big bowl and make a depression in the middle. Add the yeast mixture and mix with your hand. Add more milk, a little quantity each time, and mix it with the flour. Add the olive oil, the salt, the butter melt within some milk and continue to mix. In the end mix the minced green onion and mix until you get a smooth mixture. Shape it like a ball and allow to rise in a warm place, covered with a cotton table cloth for 1 to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
After that divide the mixture into 12 pieces and shape your little breads. Transfer them into the baking tin and allow them to rise for one hour, always covered with the cotton table cloth.
After that you can make little cuts on the breads, brush them with water and bake them in the pre heated oven (180°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden.
