• Stir well.
• Add remaining flour and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (95C) and then turn off.
• Grease an ovenproof bowl and place dough in it. Let rise in oven. Punch dough down.

FOCACCIA WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Sprinkle yeast and sugar into 1/2 cup of the water - do not stir.
• Let stand 10 minutes or until the surface becomes bubbly.
• In large bowl, combine flour and table salt.
• Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in yeast mixture and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Stir with wooden spoon or electric mixer, and slowly add remaining 1/4 cup water - dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes, adding small spoonfuls of flour if necessary.
• If you are using a stand mixer, you may continue using the dough hook setting rather than turning out on the board as mentioned in step 6.
• When dough is smooth and elastic, place in bowl and cover with plastic wrap or damp cloth.
• Let rise in a warm place- about 80-85 degrees - until doubled in bulk, for 1 hour.
• Turn onto lightly floured surface. Knead gently several times.
• Flatten into 10-inch circle. Place on an oiled baking stone, pizza pan or heavy cookie sheet (I use a large cast iron skillet). Press indentations into the surface of the dough with fingers to make "dimples." Loosely cover and let rise about 15 minutes, or until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a blender or mortar and pestle, combine remaining 3 Tbsp olive oil and herbs until leaves are broken up and oil is fragrant.
• Pour over dough. Rub gently into surface. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
• Bake 15 minutes, reduce heat to 400°F.
• Bake 5 minutes more, or until golden brown.
• Let cool and cut into wedges.

REBECCA'S FRESH HERB SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• Combine water, honey, and yeast in a large bowl. Stir to combine, then let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.
• Add oil and salt to yeast mixture, then stir in both flours, rosemary, basil, Italian herb blend, and pepper until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Do not knead, as dough will be too sticky.
• Cover, and let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a 4x6-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Use a spatula to scoop dough into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

SPELT BREAD RECIPE {WITH HERBS & SEEDED CRUST}

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 3 cups (480 g) of the spelt flour, yeast, Himalayan pink salt, thyme, basil,rosemary, ½ tablespoon (4 g) of the poppy seeds, 1 tablespoon (9 g) of the sesame seeds and the sugar.
• Mix the ingredients with a fork until everything is well combined. Slowly add the water and mix the dough with a fork until the water has been absorbed. Don't overmix this dough or attempt to form it into a ball. It will be wet and messy, and that's exactly what you want. Cover the bowl loosely with a lid;make sure it's not completely airtight. Let the dough sit on the counter to ferment and rise for at least 6 hours and no more than 24 hours. The dough will double in size. The more you let it ferment, the stronger sourdough taste you'll get.
• Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a 5 x 9-inch (13 x 23-cm) loaf pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ½ tablespoon (4 g) of poppy seeds, 1 tablespoon (9 g) of sesame seeds, flaky sea salt and granulated garlic. Set this mixture aside.
• Grab your bowl with the dough and remove the lid. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons (20 to 30 g) of the remaining flour over the top of the dough. Start to release it from the sides of the bowl with your hands, but keep it in the bowl. Knead the dough in the bowl five or six times, dusting it with a bit of the remaining flour as needed. The dough will still be a little flimsy and tacky to the touch.
• Release the dough into the lined loaf pan and cover the top of the dough with your seed mixture. Make a few shallow diagonal slices on the top. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, and then bake it for 35 minutes. It will puff up and be nice and golden brown on top when it's done. Remove the bread from the oven and use the parchment paper to immediately remove it from the loaf pan. Let the bread cool on a rack for about 30 minutes before serving it. Yum! Keep the bread in an airtight bag on the counter for 4 days, and then move it to the fridge. If you want to make this bread in big batches to freeze, slice it first and put it into an airtight container before freezing it.
