Steps
- 1
In a big bowl, add flour, yeast and sugar.
* Dry mix until well combined.
* Make a well in the centre and add 3 tablespoons olive oil and salt.
* Mix well, pour lukewarm water 1/2 cup at a time and mix with hard or hand blender.
* The dough should be a sticky dough and here I have use 1.5 cups water in total.
* Some flours require more than this to form a dough. So adjust accordingly.
* When a rough dough is formed, use a hand mixed and on high speed knead the dough for about 15 mins. - 2
You know the dough is ready when it’s shiny and soft.
* Use a tablespoon olive oil to gather the dough and tuck it at the bottom.
* Keep the dough in an oiled bowl and allow it to rise for 2-3 hours.
* If the dough has risen in an hour, punch it again and rest it.
* When ready to bake, pre heat oven to 180 c only on the bottom rod.
* This is to ensure that the vegetables don’t burn. - 3
On a baking sheet, place a parchment paper and oil it lightly.
* Place the rise dough and with oiled hands stretch and pull to make a rough circle or rectangle.
* Brush with olive oil on the dough and start placing all the herbs and veggies.
* Press them into the dough to hold in place.
* Once satisfied with the design, brush olive oil on the veggies.
* Allow the dough to rise again for 45 mins.
* Now press the veggies again in place so that they do not come off the bread when baked. - 4
Place in the below rack and bake for about 35-40 mins.
* Keep an eye on your oven at all times.
* After the bread is baked, switch the baking to top and bottom rods.
* Increase temp to 200c and bake for just 5 mins, until the top is golden in colour.
* Remove from oven and glaze with olive oil immediately.This gives a shiny surface.
* Cover with a cloth and allow 10-15 mins to settle.
* Cut into desired shape and your own handmade art is ready to be devoured ! - 5
