RECIPE:
1 Tbs of Dry active Yeast
1 Tbs Sugar
1 Cup Warm water (105-115F)
2.5 Cups of Flour
1 tsp Salt
2 Tbs Rosemary (I actually used about 4tbs)
1 Tbs Olive Oil
2 Tbs Butter or Margarine
Salt/Sea Salt
Turn the oven on to 200F (not for baking, just letting it warm)
Blend the yeast, water and sugar together and let sit for a few mins.
In a mixing bowl place 2 cups of the flour, salt and rosemary. Now add your yeast mixture and blend well. Slowly add the last half of flour to the mixture and knead into a soft and stretchy dough.
In another bowl pour in some olive oil and then place your dough ball in their - turning around to coat both sides. Now turn your oven off and place the bowl with dough in the oven covered with a towel. Let rise for about an hour, or until double in size.
After the dough has risen take it out of the bowl onto a cutting board and divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Don't worry, the dough will be pretty soggy from all the olive oil it sat in. No worries. Place some flour on your hands and punch/knead down again. Now shape the 2 little dough balls into a "loaf" and place next to each other on a cookie sheet/baking pan. Place back into the *off* oven to let rise for another 20-40 mins.
Take the dough out of the oven and turn it on to 450F. After the temperature has been reached stick your dough back in the oven for about 20-25 mins. My oven runs hot and by 20 mins they were pretty brown on top. The dough was not burnt, but I would like it a little less brown; so next time I am going to go for 18 or so mins. :) Just watch your bread!!
When down, *lightly browned and hollow sounding* transfer to a cooling rack and then dig in! I poured some olive oil into a bowl and adding Italian seasoning and some salt to it. YUM YUM YUM!
Big hit with my husband, mother and son!
Enjoy~
