Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.75 cup Leek (white and light green parts, finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms (finely chopped, any variety)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the leek and mushrooms by finely chopping them into small pieces. If desired, sauté them in a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to enhance the flavors, then allow them to cool completely before adding to the bread machine.

Step 2

Add the water, olive oil, salt, and sugar to the bread machine pan first.

Step 3

Layer the flour on top of the liquids to create a barrier, ensuring the yeast does not come into contact with the liquids prematurely.

Step 4

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped leeks, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese (if using), black pepper, and dried thyme evenly over the top.

Step 6

Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' program with a medium crust setting (or as per your machine's recommendations for savory breads). Close the lid and press start.

Step 7

The bread machine will mix, knead, rise, and bake the loaf automatically. Check during the mixing cycle to ensure the dough is forming a cohesive ball; if it's too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Once baking is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices of Mushroom Leek Bread warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
