Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water (about 38-40°C or 100-104°F) with the sugar and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy and bubbly.
- Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough starts to form.
- Add the olive oil and continue to mix until the dough is well combined and smooth. You can knead the dough by hand for about 5-7 minutes or use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for about 3-5 minutes on medium speed.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, combine the fresh parsley, thyme, basil, minced garlic, and crumbled feta cheese in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into approximately a 12x12 inch square.
- Evenly sprinkle the herb and cheese mixture over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough.
- Cut the dough into even strips, about 2 inches wide.
- Stack the strips on top of one another and then cut into small sections, about 2 inches long.
- Grease a loaf pan with a bit of olive oil or line it with parchment paper. Place the stacked pieces into the loaf pan, side by side, so that they stand upright.
- Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until slightly puffed.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the top of the dough with the milk using a pastry brush for a nice golden-brown finish.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Tips:
- Ensure your yeast is fresh and not expired to guarantee proper dough rising.
- Warm the water to around 110°F (43°C) before adding it to the yeast to activate it effectively.
- Finely chop the garlic, parsley, thyme, and basil for even distribution of flavors throughout the bread.
- Crumble the feta cheese finely so it mixes well with the dough.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for a better rise.
- Brush the top of the bread with milk before baking to achieve a golden, shiny crust.
- Be careful not to overbake the bread; check it periodically to ensure it’s cooked but still moist inside.
