• 1 cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
• 2 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 2 tsp sugar or honey
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 11/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for bowl

In the bowl of a stand mixer, water, yeast and sugar in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes to proof.
Gradually pour in bread flour and stir, with dough hook, to incorporate.
Add remaining ingredients except butter. Using dough hook attachment mix for about 5 minutes to form a smooth dough. The dough should clear the sides of the bowl but stick to the bottom. If the dough is too sticky, add more bread flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Place in a clean oiled bowl and let rise, slowly, about 1hour until doubled in bulk.
Divide dough into 8 or 12 round balls. Cover and let dough rest for 10 minutes more
Using a floured rolling pin, on a lightly floured surface roll balls into 6-inch or 4-inch disks. Keep all dough covered that you are not working with.
Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Working with 1 disk at a time, lift dough, stretching 1 inch larger and place in pan. Cook until small bubbles start to form about 30 seconds. Flip dough and cook for about 2 minutes until speckled. flip and cook about 1 minute more. Transfer to wire rack and brush with melted butter. Serve warm or wrap tightly once cooled completely. Breads may also be frozen for up to several weeks. To re-heat, wrap in foil and warm in 300 degree oven until warm.
