Waking up this morning felt like Spring in Italy. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and the coffee is brewing. I came downstairs to see the most beautiful loaf of bread I’ve ever laid my eyes on! With a crunchy outer layer, and soft inner, I sliced myself a delicious piece of rosemary bread to pair with my morning coffee, or as they say in Italy, cafe.

Ingredients:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 ¾ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. yeast
- ⅓ cup fresh or dried rosemary
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 tsp. sea salt for the top
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine your flour, salt, yeast, and rosemary.
- Next add in the water to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 12-17 hrs.
- Dust a large piece of parchment paper with flour and form your dough into a ball sprinkling a teaspoon of sea salt on top.
- Place the parchment paper with the dough into your dutch oven and place the lid on top. Bake this for 30 minutes, and then remove the lid and bake for an extra 15-20 minutes.
- Remove your bread from the dutch oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing, and enjoy!
This bread is perfect for any occasion! It is way different from your standard plain white bread and extra delicious. Pair this bread with olive oil, salt, pepper and a little parmesan and you will feel like a true Italian. Happy cooking and happy Sunday!
