2 Tbsp. rosemary, chopped. Set some aside for sprinkling on top

Mix yeast and sugar into warm water for about 10 minutes or until yeast is frothy. Slowly add the salt, rosemary, and olive oil into the yeast mixture. Knead liquids into the flower until it’s soft and stretchy and not sticky. Add more flour if needed. Put the dough in an oiled bowl and cover until it’s doubled in size. Punch the dough down and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, then shape the dough into two circle loaves. Cover and let the loaves rise another 45 minutes or until doubled in size. Spread the melted butter over the loaves and sprinkle with sea salt and the remaining rosemary. Bake at 450 for 20-25 minutes. Serve with spicy oil and vinegar bread dip. Recipe below.

Sisters Meg and Steph discovered that while living the life of poor, newlywed, college students, with fresh little babies in the middle of The Great Recession they could still have what they needed and wanted if they got to work and created things with their own hands. This mindset has saved them thousands of dollars in living expenses, and as they share their knowledge with others, the savings keeps growing.
