Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 cup warm water
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons rosemary

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Dissolve the sugar in warm water in a medium bowl, and mix in the yeast. When yeast is bubbly, mix in salt, butter, 1 tablespoon rosemary, and Italian seasoning. Mix in 2 cups flour. Gradually add remaining flour to form a workable dough, and knead 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 3

Coat the inside of a large bowl with olive oil. Place dough in bowl, cover, and allow to rise 1 hour in a warm location.

Step 4

Punch down dough, and divide in half. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease paper. Shape dough into 2 round loaves, and place on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining rosemary. Cover, and allow to rise 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Brush loaves with egg. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
