...bread fresh from the oven.
17. Learn how to bake bread.
Bread = awesome.
Also because it's number 17 on my 23 before 23 list. Mostly because bread is awesome (these are foccacias, by the way!). Complements of (essentially, don't judge) a "packet mix" of bread, which consisted of bread flour and a packet of yeast; this saved me from having to get new yeast, yay!
My pick of flavors? Italian herbs and cheese on one, and rosemary and garlic on the other.
Rosemary and garlic
two sprigs of rosemary
garlic powder
olive oil
Roughly chop rosemary and scatter across uncooked bread. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly across the uncooked bread, and drizzle with olive oil.
Italian herbs and cheese
(herb combination chosen from the back of a dried Italian herb mix)
Marjoram
Basil
Thyme
Oregano
Parsley
Rosemary
Chunk of cheese
Roughly chop all of the above herbs. Shouldn't need more than 2 sprigs of each, depending on taste. Grate cheese, and scatter herbs and cheese on bread. Drizzle with olive oil.
My personal favorite? The Italian herbs and cheese. Mostly because I'm not a big fan of the rosemary as it turns out, though with spaghetti? Best. Thing. Ever.
What are your favorite bread topping? Let me know, and I'll give it a go!
