Hailey's Rosemary bread

Hailey is this amazing woman who I work with. She is hard working, an avid reader, so kind, and can assist in a surgery better than any doctor I have ever seen. She brought this bread to work the other day and it was so amazing. I have to share it.

Total time: 2.5 hours
Makes 2 loaves

Ingredients:
1 Tbs yeast
1 Tbs sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt (I love Kosher sea salt)
2 Tbl. rosemary (try and grow your own rosemary. It is so much better when it comes from your own garden and then you won't have to depend on your local produce department) You will also save money by growing your own.
2 Tbl. butter

Directions:
Place yeast, sugar and water in a large bowl and allow mixture to become bubbly (about 15 minutes)
Mix in 1 Tbl butter, salt, and 2 cups flour. Add 1 Tbl. rosemary. Knead for about 10 minutes by hand. Add more flour if necessary. Oil a bowl and put dough in it and cover with a towel. Let dough rise in a warm place for one hour until dough has doubled in size. Punch down dough and divide in half. let dough rest about 5 minutes. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Shape dough into two small rounded loaves. Sprinkle remaining 1 Tbl. over the loaves and press lightly into the surface.

Let loaves rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with remaining butter.

Serve warm. Dip in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Thanks Hailey!
