I made this last night in the shape of a frog and it's stupidly easy! It's very yummy and great to snack on, and plus it's sturdy, meaning you can make it into shapes!
I used this recipe but added rosemary and garlic, but i re wrote it to add some tips! hope you guys enjoy it.
6 cups unbleached flour (plus a bit more to flour surfaces!)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons yeast
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups lukewarm milk
3 tablespoons of rosemary
3 cloves of garlic, chopped coarsely
1/4 - 1/2 cup water
optional: Eggwash. (2 eggs.)
Prep time: 20 minutes.
Riseing time: Two hours and 30 minutes.
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Mix all of the dry ingrediants together. When adding the salt and the yeast, add it on different sides of the bowls, because salt can kill the yeast, and it won't rise as well! It'll be fine after u mix everything together. just try not to add the salt on top of the yeast. Mix in milk and water and mix until it's a doughy ball. Add rosemary and garlic.
Cover a flat surface with a thin layer of flour, then rub flour on your hands. take the ball of dough and kneed it for 10 minutes.
Heres a video on how to knead the doug: https://youtu.be/ySOj0fFWo1U?t=53
Make sure u knead it for 10 minutes!! this is important.
After kneeding it, put it in the bowl and cover with a towel and place it in a dark place (an OFF oven, cabnit, or drawer.) for 90 minutes until it has doubled in size. Then, you can shape it! I made mine into a frog:

After shaping it, put it back into the dark place to let it rise for another hour.
After that hour, take it out and turn the oven to 350 degrees. If you want the bread to be shiney, you can mix together two eggs and use a brush to cover it with the eggwash. You can also mix in herbs to the eggwash for taste!
Put it in the oven for 45 minutes. It should be brown, and to test if its done, flip it over and knock on the bottom. If it sounds hollow, its done!
Note: you can use any herbs you want! Just google how much you should put in because some herbs are strongr or weaker!
Enjoy!
