• Stir olive oil, salt, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cheese, and 3 cups flour into the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the next three cups of flour. Dough will be stiff.
• Knead dough for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and rubbery. Place in an oiled bowl, and turn to cover the surface of the dough with oil. Cover with a damp linen dish towel. Allow to rise for one hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

60-MINUTE HOMEMADE HERB BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• In a large bowl or the bowl for a standing mixer, whisk 4 cups of flour and the rest of the dry ingredients together.
• Whisk milk, olive oil, and egg together. Pour into dry mix and start to combine.
• While the dry ingredients and milk mixture combine, slowly pour in the water.
• The dough should be slightly tacky. It will clean the sides of the bowl but stick to the bottom of the bowl. Add more flour, if needed.
• Once dough is the correct consistency, knead for about 5 minutes until the texture is smooth and elastic. You should be able to stretch the dough a bit without it breaking.
• Cover the dough and let rest in the mixing bowl or on the counter for 15 minutes.
• After the dough has rested, form it however you'd like.
• To make a braid, separate it into 3 pieces and lay them flat on a lined or greased cookie sheet. Starting at the top, bring the outside strand over the middle strand, so it becomes the new middle strand. Repeat with the opposite side. Repeat this pattern until the whole loaf is braided.
• Pinch and tuck under both of the ends.
• Cover and let rest 15 more minutes.
• Bake on a lined or greased cookie sheet for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown. The internal temperature should register between 205-210 degrees F if you prefer to use a thermometer.
• Brush top of baked bread with melted butter and let cool.

HOMEMADE HERB BREAD STUFFING/DRESSING RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray a 9 x 13 inch glass baking pan; set aside. In a pot or tall sided skillet, saute the onion and celery in the butter until soft but not browned. Stir in the pepper, Bell's seasoning, and poultry seasoning. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Place the breads or stuffing mix in a large bowl, add the veggie mixture, stir and pour two cups of the broth all over. Mix well. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Add the beaten eggs and mix well. This is where you fix the consistency, adding more broth as needed. If you want a fluffy stuffing like that above, you'll use less broth. If you prefer a wetter stuffing, add additional broth as needed to reach desired consistency. Remember that the dressing will puff up while cooking. Lightly spoon it into the casserole dish, but do not pack! Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until heated through. For a moister stuffing, baked covered. For a drier stuffing with a crunchy top, bake uncovered.
