Ingredients

<\/div>  <\/h3>

• 1<\/span> cup<\/span> warm water not too hot or too cold<\/span> just warm \u2013 like Goldilocks would want<\/span><\/li>
• 1<\/span> tablespoon<\/span> sugar<\/span><\/li>
• 1<\/span> tablespoon<\/span> active dry yeast<\/span><\/li>
• 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> + 1\/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt first in bread<\/span> second on top<\/span><\/li>
• 1\/4<\/span> cup<\/span> extra virgin oil oil for inside the dough + 2 tablespoons olive oil<\/span> for bottom of skillet and top of bread<\/span><\/li>
• 2 1\/4<\/span> cups<\/span> all-purpose flour may need a little more depending on weather*<\/span><\/li>
• 2<\/span> teaspoons<\/span> minced garlic<\/span><\/li>
• 2<\/span> sprigs fresh rosemary chopped<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

  Instructions

  <\/div> <\/h3>

  • In a large bowl, add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir together and let sit for 5 minutes, until slightly bubbly.<\/div><\/li>
  • Next, add 1 teaspoon salt, 1\/4 cup olive oil, 2 1\/4 cups flour to the mixture. Stir in with a spoon until combined. You will need a little more flour to make the dough come together, and when it starts to get too sticky (and spoon gets stuck), switch to mixing by hand.<\/div><\/li>
  • Lightly flour a clean, dry surface, and knead the dough by hand for 8-10 minutes. It will be a little sticky, but needs to be more combined \u2013 You may need up to a 1\/4 cup extra flour. You want to be able to press on the dough, and don\u2019t want it to completely stick to your fingers.<\/div><\/li>
  • Oil the large bowl that the dough was started in, and shape the dough into a ball, coat it lightly with oil, and place it in the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise for 45 minutes.<\/div><\/li>
  • Once that time has passed, coat a 10-inch cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Punch down the dough in the large bowl, transfer it to the skillet, and press it into the bottom of the pan. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the bread in a crisscross pattern.<\/div><\/li>
  • Brush the top of the bread with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle it with the minced garlic, rosemary, and 1\/2 teaspoon salt.<\/div><\/li>
  • Cover the bread loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise for another 20 minutes.<\/div><\/li>
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.<\/div><\/li>
  • After the bread has risen for the second time (the 20 minutes), remove the plastic wrap, and place the skillet in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is a light golden brown.<\/div><\/li>
  • Remove the bread from the skillet right away (carefully) to maintain the crust! Place it on a wire rack to cool.<\/div><\/li>
  • Enjoy!<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n

    This is one of my favorite breads to make – it smells delicious, tastes delicious, and it’s SO easy to make! It’s always a crowd pleaser, but it’s also the right size for a few people. You can eat it on it’s own, use it as bread for a sandwich, and so much more. I absolutely recommend making this as soon as possible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","WB4WB4WP_MODE":"","WB4WP_PAGE_SCRIPTS":"","WB4WP_PAGE_STYLES":"","WB4WP_PAGE_FONTS":"","WB4WP_PAGE_HEADER":"","WB4WP_PAGE_FOOTER":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rosemary-foccacia.jpeg?fit=1080%2C1080&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":617,"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606\/revisions\/617"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourbeautifulsurprise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
