My Stinky Bread Recipe
from the kitchen of enslavedbyfaeries
Dough Setting
Timer OK
All ingredients at room temperature.
11-12 ounces water
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
2-3 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp dried rosemary (or Italian seasoning)
4 cups bread flour
2 tsp active dry yeast
Measure all ingredients into the breadmaker pan. Select dough setting. When the unit signals remove the dough. Pat dough into a greased 9x13 pan. Cover; let rise for 30 minutes
Preheat oven to 400
Topping:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
With the handle of a wooden spoon, make indentations in dough, about 1 inch apart. Brush or drizzle dough with olive oil, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 15-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool, cut into squares to serve.
My Stinky Bread recipe also makes a great pizza dough!!
How to Get Rid of the Stinky Garlic Smell on Your Hands
* Pour a little salt or baking soda on hands and rub them together. Rinse with water.
* Squeeze toothpaste or pour a small amount of mouthwash on one palm, then rub hands together. Rinse with water.
* Rub hands across a stainless steel utensil under running tap water.
When buying olive oil, always buy VIRGIN oil.
This denotes it is unrefined.
