    Equipment

    • parchment paper
    • baking sheet

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
    • 2 teaspoons sugar
    • 1 cup warm water
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing and serving
    • 2 tablespoons dried rosemary
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • Freshly ground black 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 pepper 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.

    Notes

    Serve with more olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper for dipping!

      It is important that people understand that there are two separate raise periods for this bread - each lasting one hour. So, if you are reading the 1 hour 35 minutes as a total time (prep plus bake) you will be off by an hour.

      I'm catering a fancy formal dinner for 40. The hostess requested Rosemary Rolls. I tried this recipe using my bread machine. I make bread often for my family but never eat it myself. When these came out of the oven, I tried one and ended up eating 3! These are to die for! The only change to the recipe I made was I added a little fresh ground pepper. Trust me...these are delicious.

      I've already made this Rosemary bread and it is wonderful! Just 2 questions: why is fine salt listed twice in the ingredients and ground pepper is in the ingredients but no mention when to add it?

      I just made this recipe yesterday, and it came out wonderfully. My brother tried it and couldn't believe I had made it. I am proud, especially since this was my very first bread making experience. So glad I made this one, so delicious for dinner, or even for a breakfast sandwich.

      Ok this is my first real adventure making bread and I have to say this was amazing. My only regret is that I have the other loaf to my neighbor but I'm definitely sharing this and making it again. Only thing I did differently was substitute barley malt for the sugar and used instant yeast.

      I usually only cook for one. I love homemade bread but usually the loaves are so big. I like that these are small loaves. My question is can these be frozen? If so, what's the best way to bring them back to life?

        Hi Yvonne,
        I'm sure the bread can be frozen, although I haven't done so myself. I imagine thawing it and then warming it by the slice for 10-15 seconds in the microwave might do the trick.
