Ingredients
- 3/4 tsp. Active Dry Yeast
- 1-1/2 cups Bread Flour
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1-1/2 tsp. Sugar
- 1/2 Cup + 2 Tb. Water
- 1-1/2 tsp. olive oil + 2 Tb. olive oil
- Rosemary
- Course Salt
Preparation
Step 1
In the bowl drop the yeast into the warm water. Let it stand to proof for about ten minutes.
Add flour, salt, sugar, and 1-1/2 tsp. oil - mix thoroughly until dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise for about 30 minutes.
On a floured counter or flat surface punch out the dough to form either a large circle or rectangular shape. Place onto a greased baking sheet.
Preheat the oven to 400°.
Using the pad of your fingers, poke the dough lightly in various places to form indentations. Cover with a towel and allow the dough to rest for another 30 minutes or until it has risen.
Brush 2 Tb. Olive Oil - sprinkle with Rosemary and Course Salt.
Place the bread into the hot oven (bottom rack) for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until is a golden brown on top. Be careful not to overcook or it will become very hard.
