Bahan-bahan
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (I used freshly ground hard white wheat)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- olive oil
- crushed sea salt
- extra virgin olive oil and fresh cracked black pepper - for dipping
Langkah-langkah
-
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl for the kitchenaid mixer, combine the water, yeast and sugar. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes, until it is foamy or bubbly.
-
Mix in 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, the flours and 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary. Knead with the dough hook on the mixer for 5 minutes or by hand for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
-
Coat a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough in it. Cover with a towel and allow the dough to rise for one hour, or until doubled in size. Punch the dough down and divide in half. Allow it to rise a few more minutes while you thoroughly coat a large baking sheet with olive oil.
-
Shape the dough into two round loaves and sprinkle the tops of the loaves with remaining chopped rosemary. Press the herbs lightly into the surface of the bread.
-
Let the loaves rise again, until doubled in size, approximately 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the oven. Using a large spatula, transfer the loaves to a wire cooling rack. Brush with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with crushed sea salt. The sea salt is a crucial step. You could probably substitute kosher salt, but whatever you do, do not skip the salt on top of the loaves. It imparts a great flavor to the finished bread.
-
When you are ready to serve the bread, crack some black pepper onto a small plate and drizzle with olive oil. Dip the bread into the oil mixture and enjoy!
