No Knead Garlic Herb Bread

This is a recipe that our church friend shared this great recipe with us that is a great activity to do with kids. My kids loved eating this with vegan butter or jam.  I didn’t have self-rising flour, so I used a recipe from all-recipes: 3 cups flour + 4 ½ teaspoons of baking powder + ¾ teaspoons of flour. I then used 2 2/3 cups of this mixture and used the rest for scones. 

Garlic Herb No-Knead bread (~from Sarah’s Cucina Bella)

Ingredients

·      2 2/3 cup self-rising flour

·      1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

·      1 tsp dried basil

·      1 tsp dried oregano

·      1 tsp dried rosemary

·      1 tsp garlic powder

·      1 clove garlic, minced (used 2 cloves)

·      12 oz. beer, something you'd like to drink

Instructions

1.    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking oil spray. Set aside.

2.    In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, basil, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder and garlic. Stir in the beer until a sticky dough forms. 

3.    Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan. Use a rubber spatula to make sure you get it all, and then gently flatten it in the pan.

4.    Bake for 45-55 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. (baked 45 min)

Notes

Don't want to use beer (or don't have any)? You can substitute 12oz of seltzer water or club soda in this recipe.
