今天心血來潮...

又想念起以前在溫哥華時, 常去的一家義大利餐廳 (Cucina Toscana)...

(在溫哥華的華人, 應該都知道這家店！）

他們的餐前義式烤麵包, 香味非常濃郁~~~

再沾上橄欖油及義式黑醋 (Extravirgin olive oil and Balsalmic vinegar),

簡直是人間美味～ 

這麼外表簡單的麵包, 卻可以讓人愛不釋手, 永遠懷念著...

因此, 最近卯起勁來在網路上找這個麵包的食譜！

經過一翻折騰後, 終於找到類似的有幾分相似的義式麵包...

可是原料卻過於復雜, 並不是跟本尊一樣... 

於是就想來自己改造一下食譜, 讓它變成心中所想的口味！

呵呵... 果然皇天不負苦心人～ 做出來的成品, 味道還真有9.5分相似呢！

第一次手做麵包, 外型並不佳, 放上來讓大家見笑, 不過真的很好吃喔！！！

食材很簡單又健康, 大人小孩都愛吃, 因為它質地柔軟有彈性, 好似香枕！

很適合當早餐塗果醬 或是 當午餐搭配義大利麵吃喔！

從現在起, 可以自己在家做麵包, 而且比外面買的還好吃,

營養健康又比外面賣的土司便宜喔！

熱烘烘的食譜呈現在圖文下方 (不好意思... 目前只有英文版的..）

希望能將這喜悅分享出去,

讓每個人都能做出健康又好吃的義式麵包喔！

Italian Herb Bread Recipe    

Ingredients

• 2 (.25 ounce) packages of active dry yeast
• 2 cups warm water (45 degrees C)
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2/3 tablespoon of salt
• 4 tablespoon of Italian seasonings

• 6 cups bread flour          

Directions

1. Mix yeast, warm water, and white sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside for five minutes, or until mixture becomes foamy.
2. Stir olive oil, salt, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cheese, and 3 cups flour into the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the next three cups of flour. Dough will be stiff.
3. Knead dough for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and rubbery. Place in an oiled bowl, and turn to cover the surface of the dough with oil. Cover with a damp linen dish towel. Allow to rise for one hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
4. Punch dough down to release all the air. Shape into two loaves. Place loaves on a greased cookie sheet, or into two greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about a 30 minutes.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 33 minutes. Remove loaves from pan(s), and let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
