Fast and Easy Bread

Submitted by Heather Hinckley

1 T. Yeast
1 T. Sugar
1 C. Hot water (not boiling)
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups flour
2 T rosemary
1 t. salt

  1. Mix yeast sugar and hot water and let it proof.
  2. Slowly add flour, rosemary and salt. Let rise in bowl until double in size, about 15 to 20 min.
  3. Roll dough into one large round loaf or two small flour your hands, the dough is very light and can be sticky. Do not knead or handle too much when making into the loaf.
  4. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown. When out of the oven melt butter all over the top and sprinkle with salt. Enjoy warm.
Cookers note: I usually use about 2 cups of flour. You can add other seasonings besides the rosemary. I have used minced garlic also and topped with Parmesan cheese instead of salt. I am also going to try to use cinnamon and top with sugar. My kids love this bread and it is quick to make and is quickly eaten up by my family of 5. So if you have bigger children or more adults you could double the recipe and split the loafs. I bake on a cookie sheet and serve on a bread board.
