Ingredients

  

• 2 tsp active dry yeast
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing and serving
• 2 tbsp dried rosemary
• ½ tsp fine salt
• 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
• 1 tsp fine salt
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

 

• Combine the yeast, sugar and ¼ cup of water in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy.
• In the same bowl, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 ½ tablespoons rosemary, fine salt, ¾ cups warm water and all the flour. Mix with large spoon until dough forms.
• Then work dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes. Rub olive oil on the inside of a clean bowl and put the dough in, cover with saran wrap or a cloth and let stand for 1 hour. The dough should have doubled in size by this time.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Next, place the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 halves. Knead each piece for a minute or so, sprinkling with flour, as needed and work into a ball.
• Place each loaf on the prepared baking sheet. Let stand, uncovered, for about 1 hour or until dough has doubled.
• Preheat oven to 400 F. Bake the loaves for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and brush with the remaining olive oil.
• Sprinkle with the kosher salt and crumble the remaining rosemary over top of the loaf.
• Return to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Let cool slightly and serve warm.
