- Basil -- 2.00 (g)
- Bread Flour -- 500.00 (g)
- Olive Oil -- 45.00 (g)
- Salt -- 10.00 (g)
- Water -- 320.00 (ml)
- Yeast -- 7.00 (g)
- Put Flour, salt, and yeast in bowl (yeast to one side)
- Put in olive oil and basil.
- Put in about 3/4 of the water and begin stirring with your hand
- Continue adding remaining water and hand mixing until it feels a little sticky
- Turn out of bowl and begin kneading on a very lightly floured surface (adding oil as needed to keep from sticking to your hands). Do this for about 10 - 15 minutes, or until it feels right.
- Let rise in an oiled bowl until it doubles (about 2 hours), cover the bowl.
- Tilted out of bowl onto a floured surface. Fatten the air out, and put into a "loaf" form folding the sides underneath. Placing into an oiled bread tin, cover and let rise until doubled (it is just over the top of the loaf tin), about 1-2 hours.
- Heat oven to 205 C with fan. Cook for 35 minutes, look and make sure bread is good. Take out and if tapping the bottom sounds hollow, then place on a wire cooling rack until cool. Then store how you want.
