Instructions
Stir together yeast and warm water in bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer; let stand 5 minutes.
Add bread flour, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 Tbsp. table salt to yeast mixture. Beat on low speed, using paddle attachment, 10 seconds or until blended. Increase speed to medium. Beat 45 seconds or until dough is smooth.
Add 1 Tbsp. rosemary. Replace paddle attachment with dough hook; increase speed to medium-high, and beat 4 minutes. (Dough will be sticky.)
Turn dough onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 1 minute).
Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover dough with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place (80 to 85), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
Press dough into a well greased 15- x 10-inch jelly-roll pan, pressing to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place 1 hour.
Press handle of a wooden spoon into dough to make indentations at 1-inch intervals; drizzle with 3 Tbsp. oil.
Sprinkle with kosher salt and remaining 1 Tbsp. rosemary.
Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until top is light brown.
Remove from pan to a wire rack, and cool 10 minutes.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Italian works really well with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Castello di Ama Chianti Classico San Lorenzo Gran Selezione with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 48 dollars per bottle.
Castello di Ama Chianti Classico San Lorenzo Gran Selezione
#31 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2018 Pure ruby-red. Fruity nose with cherry and strawberry notes. Some tertiary hints remind leather. Flavors of ripe red fruits, succulent, intriguing and long-lasting. Tannins are ripened and delicate. The aftertaste expresses a lively freshness with notes of dark red fruits, wet ground, and wood.
