Dad's Rosemary Bread

hah... as you can see, mine didn't turn out perfect.  For some reason they didn't rise very well.  But...they still tasted good.  And I'm sure you other ladies, who have more culinary talent, could make this work just like it does when Dad makes it. 

1 Tbsp dry yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp chopped rosemary
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter

1. Add sugar and yeast to the warm water.  Let it sit until the yeast gets bubbly (probably no more than 10 minutes).
2. Mix flour, salt, and 1 Tbsp of rosemary.  Add water mixture into flour mixture and mix.
3. Knead for 10 minutes.
4. Put dough ball in a well-greased bowl.  The dough should not be super doughy.  Coat with dough with olive oil and cover with a dish towel.  Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
5. When doubled, punch down the dough and work it a little.
6. Cut into roll size pieces (or a loaf size, whatever you're making).  Grease cookie sheet and place dough balls onto it.
7. Coat each dough ball with melted butter, and then sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp rosemary.
8. Place in a warm place for about 45 minutes, until dough has doubled.
9. Sprinkle heavily with kosher salt.
10. Cook in preheated oven at 450F for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
