Tips:

  • Quality Ingredients Matter: Use high-quality ingredients like fresh herbs, grated parmesan, and unsalted butter to elevate the flavor of your bread.
  • Knead the Dough Properly: Kneading the dough for the right amount of time helps develop gluten, resulting in a more elastic and chewy bread.
  • Proofing is Key: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size to achieve a light and airy texture.
  • Brush with Butter: Before baking, brush the top of the bread with melted butter to create a golden-brown crust.
  • Fresh Herbs Make a Difference: Using fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano adds a burst of flavor compared to dried ones.
