Always check the ingredients to make sure the product is vegan.

Ingredients

• 3 cups bread flour (maybe a bit more if needed for dough consistency)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 packet active yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
• 1 1/2 cup lukewarm water (110 degrees)
• 1/4 chopped fresh rosemary
• 3 - 6 cloves minced garlic

• 1 tbsp Sugar

Directions

1. Mix together the water, yeast, Sugar and half of the rosemary.
2. Add 1 tsp salt to the flour, then add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture, slowly, until the dough is able to form a ball.
3. Knead on a well floured board or table for 10 minutes.
4. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover, and let sit in a warm place until it doubles in size (about an hour).
5. Mix together the oil, rosemary and garlic.
6. Punch dough down, and knead a few times to make it easy to handle.
7. Shape dough into 2 loaves and place several inches apart on a baking sheet.
8. Score the loaves and pour the oil mixture on top of them.
9. Sprinkle each loaf with the kosher salt. Allow to rise for 30 minutes.
