Ingredients

For the dough

• 1 tsp. sea salt
• 2 cups all purpose flour
For the topping
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Place the yeast, honey, and warm water in a large bowl. Cover and let it stand for 5 - 10 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the salt and flour together. Then mix the flour into the yeast mixture, a little at a time, until it forms a dough.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 5 - 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, and turn once to coat.
5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
6. Gently punch down the dough, and shape it. You can shape it into one baguette or two small round breads, if you decided to follow this recipe exactly.
7. Then, in a small bowl, combine the parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder together. Then, mix in the olive oil.
8. Next, rub a little olive oil on top of the bread, and rub on the parmesan mixture.
9. Let the dough rest for an additional 30 minutes.
10. Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425F.
