Add the water and 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons rosemary, 2 teaspoons thyme, lemon zest and crushed red pepper flakes.. With mixer on medium speed, mix until well combined then slowly add 1/4 cup flour and mix until dough begins to pull away from sides and begins to look smooth but will still be sticky.

This bread was easy to make and I loved baking it in my cast iron skillet. The flavors were amazing and the bread was nice and crispy on the outside. Definitely a bread recipe I will make again.

Oh My, this is So Good! The outside came out crispy with a tender center that exudes the delicious flavors of the lemon, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes. However, I had it rise overnight in the refrigerator for its first rise and then had it rise in the cast iron skillet for a second rise. I did this so I could have control of when I needed it to come out of the oven around dinner time. This will be going into my Best Of file! Thank you Marramamba for sharing. Made it for FYC.
