Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2–1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus up to 1/2 cup additional as needed)
- 1–1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder

- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 egg, whisked with 1 Tbsp water (for egg wash)
- 1 Tbsp melted butter

Instructions
- In a small bowl, add the warm water, yeast, and sugar; let sit for 3-5 minutes until frothy.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.
- Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients; mix with a dough hook on low speed for 4-5 minutes until incorporated. Add more flour as needed until a tacky ball forms.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- Divide the dough into two pieces and form into balls; place on the prepared baking sheet and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Brush dough with egg wash and bake for 10 minutes.
- Melt 1 Tbsp butter, then remove bread, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary, and return to the oven for an additional 8-12 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
For a healthier option, substitute some all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and reduce the butter for brushing.
