I fill a titch of spring in the air today…exciting. Why? Because it’s definitely time for a food change. I know that there is still a big bad snow storm that is going to sweep in right when we get our hopes up, and that is okay because I might not be quit ready to give up the comfort food just yet. So here is to the last of the comfort food…and hello to the flavors of spring!
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cups warm water
- Place in bowl or mixer let stand for about 3 minutes.
- 1 ½ teaspoon rosemary
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ½ cups high protein bread flour
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Combine all ingredients together and mix for about 5 minutes. When well combined add more flour if needed. You’ll know there is enough flour when you see the dough freeing itself from the sides of your mixer. Place in oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for about 1 hour or until double in size.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Split dough into two equal size balls. Roll into round balls and place on sheet pan. Loosely cover with plastic and let rise again for about 30 minutes. Remove plastic and brush generously with olive oil then sprinkle with a bit of salt and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
