Ingredients
- 2 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast 1 envelope
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup water warmed to 95-105 degrees
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons sea salt plus 2 tsp. for sprinkling on top (optional)
- 7 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup Fresh rosemary sprigs
Ingredients for Dip
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Spray an approx. 10x15 inch cake pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the yeast, sugar and water. Let sit until foamy (about 5 min). Stir in 3 Tablespoons olive oil.
- Add the 2 teaspoons salt and ½ of the flour and stir until mixed. Continue stirring and add in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft but not sticky dough.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and satiny (about 10 minutes.) Can knead in mixer with a dough hook if desired.
- Oil a large bowl and place dough into it, turning once to coat top with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm area until double (about 1½ hours.)
- When doubled, roll dough into a rectangle to fit the size of your prepared pan. Place dough in pan and push it into the corners with your fingertips.
- Cover pan with a damp towel and let rise for about 45 minutes until not quite doubled.
- After risen, use your fingertips to push dimples into dough, across the entire surface. Push fingers deep into the dough, almost to the pan.
- Cover with the damp towel and let rise for another 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- After rising, place sprigs of the Rosemary into each dimple. Sprinkle 4 tbsp. olive oil across the top, allowing the oil to run into the dimples. Sprinkle with extra sea salt (if desired).
- Place pan into oven. Spray sides and bottom of the oven with water (the steam helps develop the crust of the bread).
- After 5 min. of baking, spray oven again and continue to bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove to wire rack to cool.
