with pressed juice, also works with basil, rocket or parsley pressed juice, also as a side dish to soup, Bolognese, for grilling

Wash and dry the wild garlic, and juice it in an electric juicer (you should get at least 1 tablespoon). Crumble the yeast into a cup, add the honey and a little of the water, and mix until smooth. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and herbs. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Dust the edges with flour and let it rest for 10 minutes. Add the remaining water and 1 tablespoon of wild garlic juice and knead everything into a smooth dough. Then knead in the oil. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours. Then slide the dough onto a floured work surface. Use a dough scraper to fold the four corners of the dough towards the center again and again. Repeat this process three times. Line a baking sheet with baking paper*. With floured hands, turn the dough over and place it on the sheet, shaping it into an oblong ciabatta loaf. Dust with flour, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rest for another 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 250°C (top/bottom heat). Place the baking tray on the second rack from the bottom and bake the bread for approx. 25 minutes. Remove from the tray and let cool on a wire rack. * Please follow the instructions of the baking paper manufacturer! If a maximum of 230°C is possible => preheat the oven to 230°C (fan oven) and reduce the baking time by 5 minutes if necessary. In my case, however, it worked at 250°C because of the lower rack height; the paper just browned more and should be checked. The bread is pale green. If you like it more intense, increase the amount of vegetable juice and reduce the amount of water accordingly.
