Optional Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). This will ensure that your bread bakes evenly and gets a nice crust.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread Dough

    If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature. If making your own, prepare the dough according to your recipe and allow it to rise until doubled in size.

Baking

  1. 3

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Use your hands to shape it into a round or oval loaf, as desired.

  2. 4

    Add Olive Oil and Seasoning

    Drizzle the olive oil over the shaped dough and sprinkle with sea salt and fresh rosemary. If using optional toppings, add garlic powder and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.

  3. 5

    Bake the Bread

    Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Serving

  1. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or olive oil for dipping.
