Rosemary Bread

Simple, easy and yummy rosemary bread.

 

Ingredients:
1 cup   Flour
1 cup   Warm Water (approximately, you may need less water depends on the weather)
1 tsp    Salt
1 Tbsp Coarse Sea Salt
1 tsp    Sugar
1 tsp    Yeast
1 tsp    Rosemary Leaves
1 Tbsp Olive Oil

Method:

1. In a small bowl, melt sugar in 1/2 cup of warm water, then add yeast  
   
2. Make sure your yeast is active.  The yeast mixture will become bubbly in about 5 minutes if your yeast is active
3. In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, salt and the yeast mixture 
   
4. Add enough water and knead it into a dough ball.  Don't worry too much if the dough is not smooth at this point
   
5. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.  
   
6. Drizzle with olive oil and cover with a wet towel/plastic wrap.  Let it rise for about an hour or until almost doubled in size.  I always proof the dough in an off oven with a bowl of hot water inside (You can just leave it on the counter top if you live in a warm place) 
                                                             
             
   
   

   

   Dough doubled in size

7. Once doubled in size, preheat the oven to 350F
8. Line the baking pan with parchment paper
9. Flatten the dough into any shape you like 
   
   
   
   
   
10. Press the dough with your fingers to make some dents to hold the olive oil 
    
11. Top with coarse salt and rosemary leaves, the drizzle more olive oil on top 
    
12. Bake for 10 minutes or until it is brown.
13. You can brush more olive oil on top once it is done 
    

Enjoy!
