Homemade Rosemary and Olive Oil Bread

Prep Time 2 hours
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 20 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 1 C Warm Water 100-110 F
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar in the Raw
  • 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Rosemary chopped (or 2 tsp dried)
  • Dash of Garlic Powder
  • Dash of Dried Oregano
  • Dash of Dried Basil
  • Dash of Black Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 ½ C Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ C Bread Flour + extra for kneading
  • 1 Egg whisked + 1 Tbsp Water, for egg wash
  • Dried Rosemary and Kosher Salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 10 minutes to proof.
  • Combine the salt, rosemary, garlic, oregano, basil, pepper and whole wheat flour in a bowl, then add to the yeast mixture slowly. Pour in the olive oil as you are stirring, then slowly add the bread flour and stir until the dough forms a ball. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary to prevent sticking, until smooth.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl; cover; and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough and form it into a round loaf. Place it on a cornmeal parchment paper or thin cutting board; cover; and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven with a pizza stone to 400 degrees. Once the dough has risen, gently brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with the dried rosemary and kosher salt.
  • Bake on preheated stone for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and sounds solid but hollow when tapped.
