ingredients:
- 1 package Scotty’s Everyday Bread Mix
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 packet (2 ¼ t.) active dry yeast
- 1 ¼ cup warm water (95- 110 °F)
- 2 tablespoons prepared or homemade pesto
- ¼ cup kalamata olives, pitted & sliced
- ¼ cup artichoke hearts, quartered
- 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- 1 - 1 ½ cup seasoned chicken broth, boiled
instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast until fully dissolved
- Add olive oil
- Add in pesto, kalamata olives, and artichoke hearts
- Add in bread mix from packaging
- Mix for 2 minutes at medium speed, stopping to scrape down the sides
- Transfer to a loaf pan and let proof for 2 hours at room temperature
- Once proofed, preheat the oven to 375 °F and brush the top of your dough with your egg wash (beaten egg with water)
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool
- Slice the bread and dice into small cubes
- Toss with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes, tossing around the pan every so often so as to not burn. They should be crunchy once baked
- Toss croutons with chopped parsley, garlic, and pine nuts in a bowl
- Pour piping hot broth over mixture and toss until well mixed
- Transfer to a loaf pan and broil for 1-2 minutes, just until the top begins to brown. This will happen fast, so watch closely. Best served with pan-roasted chicken. Enjoy!
