8 Servings
- 2.5 tsp active dry yeast
- 360 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp dried rosemary
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 235 ml warm water
- 60 ml water
- 1 tbsp white sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Step 2
Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
Step 3
Add the flour, salt, olive oil, and rosemary to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
Punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Let the dough rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Step 9
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 10
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
