Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Warm water (around 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, salt, and chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and parsley) to the bowl and stir to combine.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two 8-inch round baking pans or cake pans with olive oil or nonstick spray.

Step 6

Gently deflate the dough by stirring it a few times with a spatula. Divide the dough evenly between the two prepared pans.

Step 7

Cover the pans with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 20-30 minutes while the oven preheats.

Step 8

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the warm bread with melted butter for a glossy finish and extra flavor.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
