EASY ROSEMARY BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Place yeast, sugar and water in large bowl or food processor and allow mixture to become bubbly. Mix in 1 T butter, table salt, and 2 cups of flour. Add one tablespoon of the fresh chopped rosemary. Can use less rosemary if you like a lighter rosemary taste.
• 2. Knead for about 10 minutes by hand or in food processor about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if necessary.
• 3. Oil a bowl, put dough in it and cover with a towel. Let dough rise in a warm place for one hour until doubled. Punch down dough and divide in half. Let dough rest about 5 minutes.
• 4. Spray baking pan or cookie sheet with cooking spray. Grease your hands with olive oil as the dough is sticky. Shape the dough into 2 small rounded oval loaves. Sprinkle remaining rosemary over the loaves and press lightly into the surface. Let loaves rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• 5. Preheat oven to 375°F. Put a small pan of water in the oven to help make the crust perfect. Brush the remaining butter on top of loaves 8-10 mins before they are done baking. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Sprinkle with sea salt on top once done. ***If you want a softer crust, you can wait to brush the loaves with butter after taken out of the oven. *** can freeze
