I've been wanting to bake my own bread at home and after quite some time searching the net for recipes, I came across this recipe. Modified the ratio of herbs/seasonings for more flavor.

Steps

1

Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl and form a well in the center
2

Add 1.5 cups of warm water gradually and stir
3

Knead dough with hands, dusting with extra flour if dough is sticky until a soft smooth dough is formed
4

Rest the dough in a well greased bowl, covered with an oiled cling wrap for 1 hour in a warm place. Dough should be more than doubled in size by now.
5

Remove dough and place on a flourboard/work surface lightly dusted with flour. Gently punch out air pockets and shape dough into a circle by folding and pinching dough.
6

Place dough on a greased baking sheet and rest for another 30-45 minute for 2nd rise. Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius in the meantime.
7

Slice the top of the bread with decorative patterns using a sharp knife and brush surface of dough with eggwash. Bake in the oven for 30-35min until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Leave to cool for 30min before slicing.
8

Serve warm with soups/olive oil or use it to make sandwiches. Voila! All done!

Note: dough will be a little sticky and soft. Dust with extra flour as needed.
