Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (500 grams)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast (7 grams)
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (360 ml) (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (25 grams)
- 1 teaspoon salt (6 grams)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (60 ml)
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
Instructions
- Prepare the yeast mixture by combining warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix the dry ingredients by whisking together all-purpose flour and salt in a large bowl, making a well in the center.
- Combine wet ingredients by adding the frothy yeast mixture, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary to the well in the flour mixture.
- Form the dough by mixing until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Shape the rolls by punching down the dough, dividing it into 16 pieces, and rolling each into a ball.
- Prepare the baking dish by greasing a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter and dipping each dough ball in melted butter before placing them in the pan.
- Let the dough rise again in the loaf pan for 30-45 minutes until puffed up.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough is rising.
- Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack and brush with remaining melted butter.
- Serve warm, pulling apart the rolls to enjoy the flavors.
Notes
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze.
- To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
