Sourdough, olive oil and some herbs

Sourdough with extra virgin olive oil and some dried herbs I’ve found (rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil). For upgrading the aromas of the dried herbs, you should mix them with oil and heat it in the microwave, just a minute or less at low power. This time I’ve used 50% of sourdough per kilo of flour, a pinch of yeast, and the quantity of olive oil is about 5%. Oil gives not only aroma but also preservations and changes the structure of the crumb.
