1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Whisk together until well combined.
2
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and olive oil together. Make sure the water is warm, but not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
3
Add Rosemary
Add the chopped fresh rosemary to the wet mixture and stir to combine.

4
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
5
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

6
First Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
7
Shape the Dough
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Shape the dough into a loaf or divide into smaller portions for rolls.
8
Second Rise
Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes.

9
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
10
Bake the Bread
Once the dough has risen, bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
11
Cool the Bread
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
