Jo’s Rosemary Bread

If you’re looking for a bread recipe that smells as good as it tastes, look no further than Jo’s Rosemary Bread. This aromatic delight is perfect for dinner, toasting, or just slathering with butter and munching on while binge-watching your favorite show. Don’t blame us when that loaf disappears faster than you can say, “More bread, please!”

Jo's Rosemary Bread

Ingredients:

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary)
  • 1 ½ cups warm water (not hot, maybe more of a cozy bath temperature)
  • Olive oil for greasing

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy — it’s like a mini science experiment!
  2. Add the flour, salt, and chopped rosemary to the yeast mixture. Mix everything together until it forms a shaggy dough.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes. Think of it as a workout for your arms (and an excuse to eat more bread afterward).
  4. Once the dough is smooth and elastic, grease a clean bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and cover it with a cloth. Allow it to rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. Get ready for some bread magic!
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down — yes, you heard me right! Punch it down to release the gas (but with love, of course).
  6. Shape the dough into a loaf or round ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  7. Gently score the top of the bread with a sharp knife and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top. Then, pop it into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the house smells like a bakery!
  8. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack (if you can resist!), and enjoy your homemade Jo’s Rosemary Bread!

Now that you’ve conquered the art of bread-making, don’t forget to share your loaf with friends and family—or hide it all away for yourself. We won’t judge! Happy baking!
