Vary the herbs--or even substitute Parmesan cheese--for variations on this basic
recipe.

Makes 24 Servings

3/4 cup warm water (105-115o F)
1/4 ounce active dry yeast (1 envelope)
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons bread flour*
1 tablespoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Pour the warm water into a large bowl; sprinkle with the yeast and sugar. Let stand
10 minutes, until foamy.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of the flour, the rosemary and salt. Stir the
flour mixture and the oil into the yeast mixture until the dough forms a ball.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the remaining flour on a work surface; knead the dough
8-10 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon flour at a time, until the dough is no longer
sticky and is smooth and elastic.
Sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons flour on a large cutting board. Place the
dough on the board and roll into a 10 x 6" rectangle. Cover with a clean kitchen
towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in volume, about 1
hour.
Preheat the oven to 450o F. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
With a pizza cutter or long sharp knife, cut the dough cross-wise into 4 equal
parts, then cut each part lengthwise into 6 equal strips, to make a total of 24
strips. Roll each strip into a 1/2" rope. Pull and stretch each rope and place on the
prepared pan about 1" apart (the ropes will shrink to approximately 8" lengths).
Repeat with the remaining dough, keeping the unstretched dough covered with the
towel. Bake about 18 minutes, until golden. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store
in an airtight container.
