• Sugar - 1/2 teaspoon
• Active dry yeast - 2 1/4 teaspoons

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
2. Add the flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

7. Brush the dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with the rosemary.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
