Can I make herb bread with multigrain atta?

Yes, this loaf uses 3.5 cups of Anveshan multigrain atta for a fibre-rich crumb; you may need slightly more water as multigrain flour absorbs more than maida.

How long does Italian herb bread take?

Around 75 minutes of prep including proving, plus 35 minutes of baking, so set aside roughly two hours start to finish for 4 servings.

What does olive oil do in this bread?

4 tbsp of Anveshan olive oil keeps the multigrain crumb soft and moist while adding a fruity flavour and golden sheen to the crust.

How do I know the dough has proved enough?

It should roughly double in size and spring back slowly when poked; a warm spot speeds up proving.
