RECIPE:
Ingredients
1 packet active dry yeast
2 tsp sugar (I use organic sugar)
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour (I use unbleached organic)
1 1/2 cup bread flour
¼ cup warm water to activate yeast (115 degrees or like bath)
¾ cup – 1 cup warm water for dough mixture
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for baking)
2 Tbsp fresh chopped Rosemary
3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp melted butter for brushing top of bread
Instructions
In small dish combine yeast and honey. Add ¼ cup warm water and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to activate yeast.
In stand mixer or bowl combine all purpose flour & bread flour (3 cups total) (You may also use just all purpose flour for this recipe,) salt, 1 Tbsp EVOO, fresh grated (and chopped) Parmesan cheese and chopped Rosemary.
When yeast is bubbly and activated pour in bowl with ingredients.
Add 1/2 cup of the one cup warm water.
Stir on low speed with hook attachment attachment until well blended and mix on low speed until elastic and smooth. About 5 to 7 minutes.
In large ceramic or glass bowl add remaining 2 Tbsp of EVOO and place dough in bowl and coat well with EVOO. Cover with plastic wrap and place a clean towel over and let rise for 1 hour.
After dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide into two equal parts.
Shape into oval or round loafs by working/pulling dough from top to bottom.
Place each bread on parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise another hour.
Preheat oven & baking stone to 400° F during your final rise.
Slice top of dough with vertical slit.
Bake on middle rack at 400°. Place bread on hot stone and bake bread for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes brush top with melted butter and sprinkle over extra fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for a remaining 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown or internal temperature of bread reads 210° F.
Cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite meal or with flavor infused olive oil.
