"A wonderful, quick alternative to garlic bread. Lots of herbs and lots of flavor!"

INGREDIENTS:

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon white sugar 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1 pinch ground black pepper 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 cup water 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese 1 cup mozzarella

DIRECTIONS:

1.	In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, basil and black pepper. Mix in the vegetable oil and water.
2.	When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
3.	Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Punch dough down; place on greased baking sheet. Pat into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Brush top with olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.

I made some modifications to this recipe - 

First - I mixed the water - I meed sure it was 100 degrees and then I added my yeast and sugar and set aside for 15 minutes until it was bubbly before adding it to my flour and herbs. 

I used kosher salt

I added 1 tsp of rosemary

I used all oil oil. 

It was a very dry day - very little humidity so I upped the water 1/2 Tbsp at a time until I got a good consistency. 

I mixed about a tsp of all the herbs in some olive oil and set aside until I was done kneading. Then used that mixture to coat the dough with and the baking surface. 

I didn't have any mozzarella cheese so I just used the parmesan cheese.

It could've baked about 3 minutes longer it was a tad bit doughy in the middle. But overall, good flavor and served with spaghetti - the flavors blended really well.
