Description
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 envelope active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (heated in the microwave for 60 seconds)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 & 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 1/4 cup PLUS 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon rosemary, coarsely chopped
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm/hot water. Immediately add honey to water, stir and set aside for 10 minutes until yeast begins to froth.
- While yeast is dissolving, add flour to a stand mixer with a dough hook or bread attachment (you can also use a large mixing bowl and hand mix the dough, but a stand mixer is recommended).
- After yeast has dissolved in water, add yeast water to flour along with salt, and ¼ cup olive oil. Mix on low speed until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl (no longer extremely sticky).
- Remove dough from the bowl and knead by hand on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer dough back into bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap (or a towel) and set in a warm, dry, non-drafty place. (If your oven has a “warm” setting, we’ve found it allows the dough to rise best.) Allow dough to rise for 1 hour, dough ball should double in size.
- Transfer dough into a greased 8×8 baking pan. To spread dough, rip off pieces and lightly press them into the pan until there is one even layer. With your fingers or the end of a wooden spoon, dimple dough approximately 1/2 inch apart. Evenly spread remaining 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and minced garlic over dough. Sprinkle rosemary onto bread. Optional: Season with additional salt, to taste.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise for an additional 20-30 minutes. You can set the pan on a warm surface to help aid in the rising process.
- At this point you can refrigerate dough if you’ve prepped it in advance or you can bake it.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake bread until golden brown, about 20-23 minutes.
- Remove from oven and grate desired amount of Parmesan cheese over bread. Allow bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
