Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, brown sugar, and yeast. Stir until yeast and brown sugar are dissolved. Let sit until bubbly, about 8-10 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer combine salt, rosemary, seasonings, olive oil, and flour. Add the yeast mixture and mix with dough hook until it forms a ball.Continue to knead with dough hook for 5 more minutes, adding a bit more flour if dough is too loose.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased blow; cover; and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and, on a floured surface, form it into a round or oval shaped loaf. Place a piece of parchment paper on a pizza paddle (or peel) and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Place dough on top of parchment paper, cover with a light kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- While dough is rising, preheat oven to 450˚F with a pizza stone on the middle rack and an empty sheet pan on the lowest rack . Once the dough has risen, gently brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt and dried rosemary.
- Slide parchment paper (with bread on top) onto stone. Toss about 1 cup of water onto baking sheet on lower rack (this will form steam which will help the bread to have a nice crusty outside). Immediately reduce oven temperature to 400˚F. Bake on stone for about 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Serve warm or let cool down and slice for sandwiches, etc.
