Olive Oil Rosemary Bread     

Ingredients:
3 cups bread flour
1 1/4 tsp yeast
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 tbsp fresh rosemary plus for garnishing
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preparation:
Combine lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Stir once, cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes until frothy. Add oil, rosemary, salt, and flour. Give it a quick stir until blended and all the flour is incorporated. The dough will be rough, shaggy and sticky.

Line the instant pot bowl with parchment. Spray parchment with oil. Place the dough in the prepared pot, close the lid and press the yogurt button on the Normal Setting. Let rise 4 hours until double in size.

Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Place a Dutch oven in the oven to preheat it as well. Scatter some flour on another piece of parchment paper, remove the dough from instant pot and flip onto the floured parchment paper. Shape the dough on parchment paper into a tight ball.

Sprinkle some rosemary on the dough, cover it with a towel for about 30 minutes. Gently put the dough ball into the Dutch oven. With a sharp knife slash the bread 2 to 3 times, making cuts about 1/2 inch deep.

Bake, covered, 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake another 10 to 15 minutes.
