Rosemary Garlic Bread

 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine:

1 1⁄4 cup Very Warm Water
1 tsp Yeast
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Rosemary
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Himalayan Salt

2. After mixing these 6 ingredients, add:

Add 2 3⁄4 cup flour, working until well combined. Dough should hold its shape when made into a ball, but still be sticky. If the dough does not hold its shape, work in additional flour, 1⁄4 cup at a time until the dough is able to hold its shape. (see picture below)

3. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan or on a greased metal tray (for artisan loaves).

4. Cover with a lightweight wet towel or oiled plastic wrap, let rise until almost doubled.

(Optional: For a crispy crust, lightly brush with olive oil just before baking.)

5. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees. 

The bread is done when the bottom of the loaf is lightly browned. Remove from pan. Cool on a dry towel or wire rack.

6. Slice & Enjoy!
