Bread with herbs and garlic in the oven lean

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make lean bread with herbs and garlic in the oven? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. Use flour of the highest grade and preferably weak, with a protein content of 10.3 g . Any vegetable oil will suit your taste. I have sunflower oil.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift 100 g of flour into a bowl. Add sugar and yeast. Pour in warm water (37-40°C).

3. Step 3:

   

   Stir and leave the sourdough in a warm place for 20 minutes. A lush foam should appear on the surface, and the mass itself should increase slightly in volume. If the fluffy cap has not appeared, then either the yeast is spoiled, or the water has overheated and the yeast has died. It is necessary to knead again with other yeast or with colder / warmer water.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sift the remaining flour into the dough, pour in vegetable oil, add salt.

5. Step 5:

   

   Knead a soft elastic non-sticky dough with your hands, adding a little more flour if necessary. But do not overdo it with flour, otherwise the bread will turn out not airy, but dense and rubbery.

6. Step 6:

   

   Form a ball of dough, put it in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave for 40 minutes in the heat to rise.

7. Step 7:

   

   While the dough is rising, prepare everything for the filling. If desired, you can add salt and ground black pepper to the filling. You can take any greens to your liking. I have a mixture of dill and parsley. You can add coriander, wild cherry and other herbs.

8. Step 8:

   

   Wash the greens, shake off the water. Chop the greens so that they fit in a blender.

9. Step 9:

   

   Peel the garlic and cut it into 2-3 pieces.

10. Step 10:

    

    Put the herbs, garlic, and olive oil in the blender bowl. Olive oil can be replaced with another vegetable oil to your liking.

12. Step 11:

    

    Grind everything until smooth. You should get a fairly thick non-flowing paste.

13. Step 12:

    

    Roll out the dough on a floured table into a square or rectangle 5-6 mm thick.

14. Step 13:

    

    Spread the chopped herbs with garlic on top of the dough. Leave some of the greens for the top of the finished bread.

15. Step 14:

    

    Roll the dough into a roll. Cut the roll in half lengthwise, a little short of the edge.

16. Step 15:

    

    Weave the resulting dough strips together.

17. Step 16:

    

    Put the bread in a rectangular baking dish. I have a form size of 31 by 11 cm.

18. Step 17:

    

    Cover the mold with a towel and leave it warm for 30 minutes to rise.

19. Step 18:

    

    Put the bread in a preheated 180 ° C oven for 40-45 minutes.

20. Step 19:

    

    Spread the finished bread on top with the remaining green mass. Cool the bread slightly, remove from the mold and serve. Bon appetit!
