RECIPE TIME!! Ricotta Herb Bread 1 teaspoon dried yeast 3 tablespoons milk, lukewarm ½ teaspoon white sugar 2 ½ cups bread flour 2/3 cup homemade Ricotta cheese 2 tablespoons olive oil 1-2 tablespoons leftover whey from ricotta making 3 tablespoons fresh herbs, chopped (Basil, Italian parsley, Rosemary, Green onion) 1 large garlic clove, chopped 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt Line a baking tray with parchment. In a small bowl, place the milk, and sugar, sprinkle the yeast over and whisk gently. Allow to bubble and activate in a warm place for 10 minutes until frothy. Fit a dough hook on your mixer and add the flour, ricotta cheese, olive oil and the yeast mixture. Put on the lowest speed and add whey if needed. This is very soft & light dough. Place dough in a clean bowl and cover with cling wrap, place in a warm area for 1 hour or until tripled in size. Punch down dough, add the herbs, garlic, and salt, and knead by hand for a couple of minutes. Shape into a loaf shape and place on prepared tray. Allow to rise in warm area for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 440F. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding. AMAZING!
