Tips:

  • Fresh herbs and good-quality olive oil are essential for the best flavor in this bread. Choose basil leaves that are bright green and not wilted, and use extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • To get a crispy crust, make sure to preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking. You can also brush the top of the bread with a little olive oil before baking to help it brown.
  • If you don't have a bread machine, you can still make this bread by hand. Simply mix the ingredients together in a large bowl and knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. Then, place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Once the dough has risen, shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the bread rise for another 30 minutes, or until it has almost doubled in size.
  • Bake the bread according to the recipe instructions. When the bread is done, it should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Conclusion:

Garlic basil bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh herbs and is always a hit with friends and family. Whether you are making it in a bread machine or by hand, this bread is sure to be a success.
