Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water with cane sugar. Sprinkle in active dry yeast, stir gently, and let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and sea salt. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture and mix with a spatula on low speed until the dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough on medium speed for 5 minutes until sticky and elastic, pulling away from the bowl's sides.
- Grease a bowl with olive oil, place the dough in it, cover tightly, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Punch down the risen dough, transfer to a greased 9x13-inch pan, and shape it to fit. Let it rise for another 45 minutes while preheating the oven to 425°F.
- Drizzle the dough with olive oil, create indentations with fingers, sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary, and prepare for baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and crusty on the edges. Cool before slicing.
