This bread is really a cracker in disguise. Break a loaf into pieces and enjoy with your favorite dips, cheeses or just by itself. It is an addictive snack food. Ingredients:
3 c bread flour + 1/2 c for bench flour |
1 c warm water |
1 pk yeast |
1 teas salt |
1/4 c olive oil |
2 t minced garlic or 2 teas powder garlic |
2 t italian seasoning blend |
2 t kosher salt |
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 c cold water |
2 squares of parchment paper 12 x 12 or larger |
Directions:
1. Mix the warm water, honey, and yeast together. Proof for 10 minutes
2. In a large bowl combine flour, salt, and oil. Mix well
3. Add yeast water. MIx.
4. Knead bread for 7-8 minutes using a little bench flour if needed. Dough should be slightly tacky, soft, and pliable.
5. Brush surface with a little oil, cover with a cloth and left rise in a warm space until doubled in size.
6. Preheat oven to 500 F with a pizza stone on the middle rack
7. Punch down the dough and divide into 6 equal pieces
8. Roll out one of the piece to a 10-12 circle then stretch the dough out a little more. Use a little bench flour if needed.
9. Transfer the circle to a piece of parchment paper.

11. Lightly brush with cold water (as light as possible)
12. Sprinkle with 1 teas each: minced garlic, Kosher salt, Italian seasoning

14. Place on stone and bake for 6-7 minutes. Bread will bubble slightly and should be toasted (remember it is a cracker)
15. Remove from Parchment paper (and reuse for another loaf) and cool on a rack.
16. When cool, break into pieces and serve with your favorite dips.
17. Note: you can score the loaf before cooking to break it into regular sized pieces.
