Rosemary Sage Bread Recipe
Prep Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Bake Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 2 loaves
Ingredients
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 cup warm water
1 package (.25 ounce) active dry yeast
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely diced
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 cups bread flour
1 can nonstick olive oil spray
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, dissolve the sugar in 1 cup of warm water and mix in the yeast
- When yeast is foamy, mix in butter, rosemary and sage
- In a large bowl, mix 3 cups of bread flour and salt
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the large bowl and knead for about 10 to 12 minutes, making sure to keep the dough moist
- Spray the inside of a clean, large bowl generously with olive oil
- Place kneaded dough in the bowl, cover with a towel, and allow to rise for 1 hour in a warm area of your kitchen
- After 1 hour, punch the dough down and divide in half
- Lightly spray the inside of two loaf pans with olive oil, shape dough into two round loaves and place inside the pans
- Re-cover, and allow to rise for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour
- Preheat oven to 375 F and make sure it’s completely preheated before placing bread inside
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven or until golden brown
- Take one loaf out of the oven and carefully remove from the pan, tapping lightly on the bottom to check for a hollow sound
- If there is no hollow sound, continue to bake, checking frequently
- Once done, allow to cool in the pans for 30 minutes, and then cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes prior to slicing
Tip: Customize this bread by switching out sage and rosemary for your favorite fresh herbs, like as basil, oregano, thyme or mint.
