Rosemary Bread

A warm peasant style french bread with a kick of rosemary.  So easy. So yummy.

INGREDIENTS:
1 packet dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tsp salt
4 cups flour
2 tsp. fresh Rosemary coarsely chopped (plus more for topping)
Olive Oil
melted butter and sea salt

Dissolve yeast packet in the warm water and add sugar.
Mix in flour, salt and rosemary, stir until blended.  No need to knead. (that was fun to say)
Cover with moist paper towel and let rise for 1 hour.

Place the sticky dough, in 2 rounds, on a cookie sheet lightly coated in oil and sprinkled with flour. 

Let these rise for another hour.












After the last dough nap, brush each round with melted butter and sprinkle with rosemary and ground sea salt. 

Bake at 425° for 10 minutes and then reduce heat to 375° and bake for 15 more minutes.

Let loaf slightly cool before slicing into bite size pieces and serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping or use to make a delicious grilled cheese sandwich.
