Ingredients
-
3 cups
(12 3/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon
sugar
-
2 1/4 teaspoons
instant or active dry yeast
-
1 tablespoon
onion powder
-
1 tablespoon
dried parsley
-
1/4 teaspoon
dried sage
-
1/4 teaspoon
dried thyme
-
1/4 teaspoon
dried marjoram
-
1/4 teaspoon
dried rosemary
-
1/4 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon
salt
-
3/4 cup
water
-
1/2 cup
whole milk
-
1 tablespoon
butter
-
1
egg, beaten
-
1/2 teaspoon
celery seed
Directions
-
In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, onion powder, parsley, sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, pepper, and salt.
-
In a small saucepan (or in the microwave), heat the milk, water, and butter until very warm but not hot. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
-
Mix by hand, or on medium speed with a stand mixer, for about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining cup of flour, and mix well.
-
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the temperature of your kitchen).
-
If you want to bake a round boule-shaped loaf, place the dough in a greased 1 1/2-quart Dutch oven, and bake immediately. If you want to bake them as rolls, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place in a lightly greased 9 inch round pan; let the rolls rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.
-
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F.
-
Brush the loaf or rolls with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with celery seed and flaky sea salt (optional). Bake for 35 minutes for the loaf, or about 25-30 minutes for the rolls. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
I like warm homemade bread slathered with fresh raw milk butter, ice cream in all seasons, the smell of garlic in olive oil, and sugar snap peas fresh off the vine.
