6 pt Parsley flakes [dry]
3 pt Garlic -- crushed
2 pk Yeast
2 pt Salt, preferably
4 pt Oregano -- dried

Pepper; coarse black
Proof yeast in 4 T of the water. Mix all the dry
ingredients in a bowl, then add the liquids. Turn the
dough onto a floured surface and knead it for 10-12
minutes.The dough should have a coarse look, but will
be cohesive, stretchy, tacky but not sticky, and
resilient. Allow the dough to rise for about 1-1/2
hours (until double in size). Punch it down, and allow
it to rise again for 1-1 1/2 hours. Punch it down
again. Cut the dough into two (2) pieces and form into
rounds or french loaves. Allow to proof for 1 hour,
then bake like french breads in a 350 oven with steam
or spray for 45 minutes. Cool before cutting.
