Garlic Spiced Bread

1In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water (1 cup) and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

2In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, minced garlic (3 cloves), olive oil (2 tablespoons), spices (paprika (1 teaspoon), cumin (½ teaspoon), coriander (½ teaspoon), oregano (½ teaspoon)), and salt (½ teaspoon). Mix well to form a dough.

3Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6Cover the loaf with a damp towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

7Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

8Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.

9Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your flavorful Garlic (3 cloves) Spiced Bread!
