Here is a really simple bread recipe that I make on almost all sabbats. At its base it is focaccia so you can add different herbs for different properties or times of the year.
3 1/3 cups of water (preferably at 110°F or 43°C, but you can honestly just turn your sink as hot as it will go and this will work)
2 teaspoons of sugar/honey
2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast (or one 1 oz packet)
2 teaspoons of coarse sea salt (if using table salt, only use 1 teaspoon.)
2 teaspoons of minced garlic
A sprig of fresh rosemary (1 tablespoon of dried)
Pour water and sugar into a large bowl, mix until dissolved. Lightly stir in yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until yeast has foamed.
In another bowl mix together flour and two teaspoons of salt.
Slowly stir in half of the flour salt mixture, then add 1/4 a cup of olive oil. Continue to combine while adding the rest of the flour mixture.
Before kneading the bread by hand, cover a different bowl in a thin layer of olive oil and set aside.
Flour your hands and begin kneading the mixture, continue adding additional flour if the dough is too wet.
When the dough no longer sticks to your hands transfer dough to the oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel.
Leave dough to rise in a warm area for an hour.
After the dough has risen, transfer this to a oiled pan that you plan to bake the bread in. The pan can be a cast iron skillet, glass cake pan, it doesn’t matter!
Let bread rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F or 204°C.
Use your fingers to press holes all over the dough. Do not worry about hitting the bottom of the pan, press holes all around the dough until it is spread out evenly throughout the pan.
Cover the dough in a light layer of olive oil, salt, garlic and rosemary.
Cook the bread for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let rest for 10 minutes, remove from pan and enjoy!
Not everything you cook has to be magick, but if you do intend on practicing make sure to cleanse your kitchen and set your intentions throughout the process!
Garlic is a feminine protective and purifying root.
Rosemary has healing properties and is known for its feminine energy, it is also used for clearing the mind.
Sea Salt is traditionally used for protection and banishment. It’s ties with the ocean and femininity make this bread good for full moons.
You can use a stand mixer if you have a dough attachment instead of kneading by hand.
Serve with a mixture of olive oil, parmigiana cheese and red pepper flakes to dip.
