Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Water
• 0.25 cups Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Optional: Sea salt flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe container, warm the water to about 110°F (warm to the touch but not hot).

Step 3

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release excess air, then transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a slightly flattened round or oval about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using your fingers, press shallow dimples into the surface of the dough. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle over the chopped rosemary and garlic powder. If desired, add a light sprinkle of sea salt flakes for extra flavor.

Step 9

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
