- 1 TBSP yeast
- 1 TBSP sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2.5 cups flour (plus up to 1/2 cup more)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon rosemary
- 1 tablespoon butter
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
-
Add yeast, sugar, water, flour, salt and rosemary to the bowl of a stand mixer or bread machine.
-
Mix until the dough is no longer sticky and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Add flour a few tablespoons at a time as needed to achieve this consistency.
-
Knead in a stand mixer for 7-10 minutes, or let the bread machine run on the dough cycle.
-
Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let dough rise in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
-
Shape dough into a smooth ball. Add a drizzle of oil to a baking sheet and place the dough on the oil. Let rise for 15-20 minutes.
-
Sprinkle the top of the dough with more rosemary, if desired. Place the butter pat on top of the loaf.
-
Fill a shallow baking dish with water and place it on the bottom rack of your oven.
-
Bake the bread for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F. It should be a deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
