Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing
- 3 cups shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and shredded cabbage, and cook until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add the yeast mixture and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Add the cooled cabbage mixture and knead until well combined.
- Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size. Punch down the dough to release the air. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rise again in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen above the edge of the pan. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cabbage bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure your yeast is active to ensure the dough rises properly.
- Don’t skip the cooling step – it’s essential for the bread to set correctly.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor.
- For a richer flavor, try using butter instead of olive oil.
