Making Lammas Bread
- Combine the warm water and active dry yeast in a large bowl. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy.
- Mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and honey in a separate bowl. Whisk until blended.
- Blend the yeast mixture with the dry ingredients, adding the olive oil. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rise the dough in a greased bowl, covered, for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Shape the risen dough into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet.
- Brush the top with olive oil. Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh herbs if using.
- Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
