Ingredients
Bread Dough
  • 1 cup Warm Water
  • 1 tsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 packet Active Dry Yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 1/2 cups All- Purpose Flour (divided)
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Rosemary
Bread Topping
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Chopped Fresh Rosemary
Instructions
  1. In large bowl, mix water, sugar and yeast.

  2. Let sit until yeast activates and looks foamy, about 5 - 10 minutes.

  3. Then olive oil, salt and 2 cups of flour.

  4. Mix with dough hook on low until dough looks rough, about 2 minutes.

  5. After 2 minutes, turn to medium speed for 5 minutes and gradually add remaining 1/2 cup of flour and chopped fresh rosemary. Mix until the dough looks smooth and elastic.

  6. Cover bowl in plastic wrap and let rise for one hour (I transferred to a slightly oiled bowl and coated the dough.)

  7. After one hour, pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

  8. With lightly floured hands, transfer dough to lightly floured surface and form into loaf shape.

  9. Place dough on mat or parchment on a cookie sheet.

  10. Cover with a towel and let rise for 20 - 30 minutes.

  11. Uncover and use a sharp knife to cut a few slices across the top.

  12. Brush with olive oil.

  13. Sprinkle with Sea Salt and Chopped Fresh Rosemary.

  14. Bake for 20 minutes.

  15. Cool on rack for about 15 - 20 minutes before slicing.

  16. Enjoy!
