HERB GARLIC BAGUETTES

Herb Garlic Baguettes image

Another recipe from the Instructions and Recipes booklet which came with my KitchenAid mixer. It's actually very similar to my Herb Batter Bread, but with the addition of the garlic and that the loaves are baguettes. Prep time includes mincing the garlic cloves in a mini-chopper, but does NOT include rising times.

Time 40m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cloves fresh minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold water
1 tablespoon dry active yeast (1 packet)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
1 egg
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

Put 3 1/4 cups flour, basil, oregano, thyme, garlic and salt in bowl.
Mix using dough hook (s) until well blended, scraping bowl if necessary.
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water.
Continue mixing on slow speed and slowly add yeast mixture and cold water.
If dough is sticky you may add up to 1/4 cup extra flour, a little bit at a time.
If dough is too dry you may add a little extra water.
Continue mixing until dough is smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes.
Cover and let rise in a warm place (70° to 80°F) until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
When doubled, turn out on a lightly floured surface and punch down several times to remove air bubbles.
Divide dough in half.
Shape each half into a 12 inch long loaf.
Place loaves on a greased baking sheet.
With sharp knife make 3 or 4 shallow diagonal slices on top of loaf.
Combine egg and 1 TSP water, whisking until well blended.
Brush top of each baguetter with egg mixture.
Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Remove plastic wrap and brush top of each baguette with egg mixture again.
Bake at 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until loaves are deep golden brown.
Remove and cool on wire racks.

Yield 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 Loaf Rhodes Bread Dough or 12 Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried, crushed, rosemary
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
olive oil for brushing

Steps:

Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. If using rolls, combine them together to make a ball. Flatten dough into a rectangle. In a small bowl, combine parsley, basil, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Sprinkle over the flattened dough. Fold the rectangle in half enclosing seasonings and knead until evenly mixed throughout the dough. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a baguette shape, about 16 inches long. Place on a sprayed baking sheet. Make 4 or 5 cuts across the top of each one 1/4-inch deep and brush with olive oil. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise until double in size. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 10-15 minutes. Cool, slice and enjoy dipped in olive oil and seasoned balsamic vinegar.

Tips:

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread to rise evenly.
Brush the bread with melted butter before baking. This will give the bread a golden brown crust.
Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Herb baguettes are a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for sandwiches, appetizers, or just as a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious herb baguettes at home.
