Madhouse recipe : Herby Bread

The holidays are coming to a close, which means it's time to get back into the kitchen. This bread is simple to throw together while you're tidying up the living room.

Herby Bread

ingredients :

500g flour

decent pinch of salt

sachet of dried yeast

350ml warm water

2tbsp + 1tbsp basil

1tbsp salt crystals

1-2tbsp olive oil

Mix together everything except the salt, oil and the basil. Leave to puff up in a warm bowl. 

After about half an hour, transfer to a baking tray. Use your hands to pull it out to a fairly round shape. Use a wooden spoon handle to create holes all across the top. Scatter with salt, basil and olive oil.

Bake at 230° for about half an hour.

You may want to test it once it's out of the oven, so make sure you have a nice sit down and rest while you do so !
