How to Make Rosemary Artisan Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced onion, and ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until combined.
  4. Gradually add the remaining 3 cups of flour, mixing until a smooth and elastic dough forms. Knead for 5-10 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
  6. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Gently punch down the dough to release the air.
  8. Shape the dough into a round boule or divide into two smaller loaves.
  9. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for 1 minute, then turn it off. Place the shaped dough in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan (or two) and place it in the warm oven (with the oven off).
  10. Let rise for 30 minutes, or until almost doubled.
  11. Remove the bread from the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C). (One loaf will take 40 minutes, two loaves will take 30 minutes).
  13. Remove from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
