Homemade Oregano Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 kg of wheat flour
- 550 ml of water
- 50 g of fresh yeast
- 50 g of lard
- 10 g of dried oregano
- 10 g of salt
Preparation
- In a large bowl, add sifted flour and create a well in the center. Incorporate warm water, crumbled yeast, lard, oregano, and salt. Mix everything with a wooden spoon until integrated.
- Transfer to a flat, floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the mixture is smooth and soft and doesn’t stick to your hands. Divide the dough into 10 pieces, knead to form balls, and let rest covered with a clean cloth for about 15 minutes.
- Shape the bread and arrange them on a baking tray previously greased with lard, leaving enough space between them. Cover with a clean cloth and let rest for about 60 minutes or until they double in size.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until they are lightly golden. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
- Enjoy the oregano breads warm or cold, ideally freshly made, alone or accompanied by butter, jams, or cold cuts.
