PAUL KEODPROM
COMPLETER OF SATURDAY NYT
CROSSWORD PUZZLES
Ingredients
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1/2 cup unbleached AP flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
- 3 tbsp olive oil, plus more as needed
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 3/4 cup warm water (75-90 degrees)
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast or 1 packet (optional – add 1 tbsp of starter if you have it)
Directions
Mince herbs and garlic and add to 2 tbsp of olive oil in a cold pot, put on low heat to infuse oil.
Mix dry ingredients in large bowl.
Dissolve honey in warm water and add yeast, let sit for five minutes until it bubbles up.
Combine dry and wet ingredients adding 1 tbsp olive oil and mix to a shaggy dough, cover and let sit for
20 minutes in a warm spot.
After 20 minutes continue to knead dough while mixing in infused oil and some of the herbs and garlic. Reserve 1 tbsp of oil/herb/garlic mixture to drizzle over loaf.
Dough will be very wet, but pliable. Gently fold over several times and form a ball, let rest for
another 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a six inch skillet, generously olive oil the bottom before turning dough out into the pan. Gently spread to cover the base of the pan in an even layer. Rest for 5 minutes if it doesn’t want to stretch all the way to the edges.
With your fingers make divots in the dough, not quite to the bottom of the pan to form the signature pools in the top of a Iaccoca.
Drizzle the remaining oil and herbs over the top of the loaf and bake for roughly 20 minutes until the top and bottom are golden brown.
Let sit for 20 minutes before assembling sandwich.
