One of my favorite things is the smell of fresh warm bread that just came out of the oven, but even better then that is eating eat!

Today we talk about bread and why you should be making it tips and tricks we have learned in our kitchen and where you should start. (Bread recipe below)

Rosemary Garlic Focaccia Bread recipe:

• 1 head of minced garlic
• several sprigs of fresh rosemary
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup of olive oil
• 2 cups of warm water
• 1 tbsp of yeast
• 4 tbsp of honey
• 1 tsp of salt
• 5-6 cups of flour

First take your rosemary, garlic and oil and infuse your oil over low heat for about 5 min. Add in your pepper and other herbs you like, like basil. Remove from heat and set aside. In a large mixing bowl add your warm water, yeast and honey. Stir to mix the honey and then let sit for about 5-10 min until mixture is frothy. Add in 1/2 cup of infused oil, 2 cups of flour and salt and mix well. add the rest of your flour a cup at a time until you have a nice dough ball. Remove from ball and knead dough for about 5-10 min until its nice and smooth. Add some of your infused oil to coat a clean bowl before placing your dough ball in the bowl. Cover with a tea towel and place in a warm spot of your kitchen for about an hour or until the dough ball has doubled in size. Once its done rising, knock the air out of your dough ball and press dough down into a large greased baking pan with sides (Grease baking sheet with a little of your infused oil). Generously brush the top of your bread with more oil and use your fingertips to dimple the top of your bread. Cover and let rise another 20-30min. set your oven to 350f, after its second rise put bread in the preheated oven for about 25-30 min.

Enjoy with some balsamic vinegar!!
