Rosemary Parmesan Bread

A delightful combination of earthy rosemary and nutty Parmesan cheese, this bread is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Bread Flour
  • 1 packet Active Dry Yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
  • 1½ cups Warm Water (around 110°F)
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, mix the warm water with the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour and salt. Make sure they’re well mixed.
  3. Make the dough: Add the activated yeast to the flour mixture along with the olive oil, chopped rosemary, and grated Parmesan. Mix until combined into a shaggy dough.
  4. Knead it out: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  5. Transfer the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about an hour.
  6. Punch the dough down gently to release gases, shape it into a loaf, and place in a greased bread pan.
  7. Cover the shaped dough and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
