Directions

  1. 1. Place yeast, sugar and water in a large bowl or food processor and allow the mixture to become bubbly.
  2. 2. Mix in 2 cups of the flour and the salt. Knead for about 10 min or process in food processor for 15 seconds until smooth and elastic; add flour if necessary.
  3. 3. Oil a bowl, put dough in it and cover with a towel. Let dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour (until doubled).
  4. 4. Punch down dough and divide in half. Let the dough rest for a few minutes. Coat two 9 inch square cake pans with nonstick spray.
  5. 5. Press dough into pans. Melt the butter and brush it over the tops of the loaves. Sprinkle the rosemary over the loaves and lightly press into the surface. Let the loaves rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  6. 6. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  7. 7. Lightly sprinkle salt over the loaves and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
