Rosemary Bread

This rustic rosemary bread has a delicous crispy crust and pillowy soft center. You'll love this artisan bread! It's like something from a restaurant.

Ingredients

  • 1 TBSP yeast
  • 1 TBSP sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2.5 cups flourĀ  (plus up to 1/2 cup more)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • 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.
