The smell of rosemary and garlic fills my house every time I bake this. The olive oil on top creates a moist garlic bread taste without all the shattering crumbs of a crusty french bread. I used cheap Walmart extra virgin olive oil and it tastes delicious. If you have a fancy olive oil try it out on this recipe. See what kind of flavor it brings to the bread.

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cup warm water
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp. honey
• 1 pack active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tsp. kosher salt
• 2 sprigs rosemary
• 2 Tbsp. parmesan cheese
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• olive oil for drizzling

Directions

1. Add your water, honey and yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk to combine. Let sit for a couple of minutes to let the mixture get frothy.
2. Gradually add your flour, oil and salt and mix for five minutes. The dough should be fairly smooth.
3. Grease either this mixing bowl or a new one with oil and cover the dough. Let rise for 60-90 minutes.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle shape. Place it on a parchment lined baking sheet and cover it with a tea towel. Let it rise for about 20 minutes.
5. Use your fingers and poke holes all over the dough. Go all the way to the baking sheet!
6. Sprinkle garlic, olive oil, rosemary, cheese, and salt all over the top of the bread. The holes you’ve poked will catch all the oil.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
8. Resist the urge to eat it all.
