Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
- Sesame seeds or slivered almonds for texture (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in olive oil, then add flour and salt to form a soft dough.
- Knead 8-10 minutes until smooth; cover and proof 1 hour until doubled.
- Shape the dough into a Groot-inspired figure on a parchment-lined sheet.
- Brush with olive oil, sprinkle herbs and Parmesan, and bake at 375F (190C) for 25-30 minutes until golden.
- Cool slightly and tear into sections for pull-apart texture.
Notes
- To enhance bark texture, score the dough before baking.
- For a dairy-free version, omit cheese and use olive oil only.
