Ingredients

• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 1/4 cup warm water

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, sugar, instant yeast, salt, and fresh rosemary, chopped.
2. Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough to release air and shape it into a round boule.
6. Place the shaped boule on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover it with a towel and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
8. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the boule with a few slashes.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the boule is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Allow the boule to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
