ROSEMARY ARTISAN BREAD
This bread is a combination of two recipes. One from Williams-Sonoma (which took around 8 hours to rise and didn't turn out so well for me) and an Italian herb bread from s'kat. I like how this version turned out very light and airy and aromatic. I used rosemary from my garden and think the lemon really brings out the flavors. * I threw all of the ingredients in my KitchenAid mixer, gradually adding the flour last. * I let my oven warm at 400 deg. for 1 minute then turned it off and put my covered bread in to rise. This really does the trick!

Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary has a more intense flavor than dried rosemary, so it's best to use it whenever possible. If you only have dried rosemary on hand, use about half the amount of dried rosemary as you would fresh rosemary.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then knead it for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when you tap it.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the bread to hold its shape.
