Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm water 100-110 F
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning or pinch of each ground garlic, dried oregano, and dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • additional dried rosemary for the top

Instructions
 

  • Combine warm water, sugar and yeast in a 2 cup measuring cup. Let sit for about 10 minutes to proof. It will get frothy and surface will swell.
  • Stir together white wheat flour, 1 cup of bread flour, salt, rosemary, seasoning, pepper and olive oil in a bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in yeast mixture.
  • Mix with wooden spoon until shaggy. Add additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough can be handled.
  • Dump onto a floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes or until dough is a smooth round ball.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl; cover; and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough and form it into a round loaf. Dust a pizza peel or parchment paper with some cornmeal or a nice sprinkling of flour. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven and pizza stone (if you have one) to 400 F. When the dough has risen, gently brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Slide dough onto preheated stone and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Notes

If you do not have a pizza stone this recipe will still work you just won't get as nice of a crust.
