Greek Freak Quick Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 heaping tablespoon Greek Freak Spice Rub
- 1 packet active dry yeast (Don’t worry! Amazon or your grocery store can deliver this)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon table salt)
- 3/4 cup warm tap water
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons for drizzling
- Black Pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450ºF. Place a pizza stone/baking stone in the oven and preheat. You can also use a baking sheet.
- In a food processor or mixing bowl add the flour, Greek Freak, yeast, sugar and salt. If using a food processor pulse to combine or whisk together in a bowl. Add the olive oil to the water and add to your dry mixture, mixing. Continue to mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
- Sprinkle about a tablespoon of flour onto your counter and remove the dough from the processor. Hand knead 10 times to form a smooth ball. Cover with a medium-sized bowl and allow to rest 15 minutes. Remove the bowl and stretch and flatten the ball into a 12-inch disk.
- Spray the baking stone/baking sheet with cooking spray and add the dough to it. Gently use your fingers to depress finger marks into the dough and drizzle with a little more olive oil and some black pepper.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is firm.
- Remove, slice and serve.

- Roll a pork tenderloin in Greek Freak and grill or bake. Top with crumbled feta cheese and fresh chopped oregano – Delicioso!
- Sprinkle into Minestrone soup. Skip chopping tons of herbs and just unscrew the jar and sprinkle some in. Easy!!
