Instructions:
Bread Mix:
- Mix well in a large tub or bowl.
- If you like herbs in your bread, add 2 tablespoons of sweet basil, or a mix of Italian herbs.
- Mix well with a wire whisk.
- Then put in plastic containers to store.
To Bake:
- Mix and blend well.
- No need to knead, just mix well until the dough is smooth, makes a firm ball, and is not sticky.
- If sticky, add some more flour until it’s firm.
- Put it in the refrigerator and let it sit for a day.
- If you don’t have a day, let it rise for a couple of hours, punching it down when it doubles. This will develop a much better flavor and crust.
- If you’re in a hurry, the dough can go into the oven as soon as you roll it out, and let it rise for 15 minutes. This is a very forgiving recipe, so don’t worry.
- Now when you’re ready to bake, separate the dough into 3 pieces.
- With a little flour scattered on your counter, roll each piece of dough out into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Set on greased baking sheets.
- Then let the dough proof or raise for 15 minutes.
- Then put your fingers into the dough, making some impressions, brush with melted butter or olive oil, and then very lightly with Italian sauce.
- Get creative with your toppings if you want. Parmesan and fresh rosemary are great.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until nicely browned and crusty. The bottom should be brown as well.
- Brush again with melted butter or olive oil.
- Now when the bread has cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap completely and freeze.
