🛒 Ingredients
🥖 Strong white bread flour – 500g
💧 Warm water – 375ml
🍯 Honey – 1 tsp
🍃 Fresh rosemary – 2 tbsp, finely chopped
🧂 Sea salt – 1 tsp
🧆 Active dry yeast – 7g (1 packet)
🌾 Semolina flour – for dusting
👨🍳 Method
🥄 Mix the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, active dry yeast, chopped rosemary, and sea salt.
Pour in the warm water and honey, stirring everything together until a sticky dough forms.
🖐️ Let it Rise:
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Leave it at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
🔥 Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 220°C (fan 200°C) to get it nice and hot for baking.
🍞 Shape the Dough:
Once the dough has risen, gently turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a round loaf and transfer it onto a sheet of parchment paper.
Dust the top with a bit of semolina flour and cover it with a cloth for another 30 minutes of rising.
🔪 Score and Bake:
Use a sharp knife to gently score the top of the dough—this helps it expand while baking.
Place the loaf (still on the parchment) onto a baking tray and bake for 30–35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
🧑🍳 Cool and Enjoy:
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Patience pays off here—it’ll be worth the wait!
