In a mixing bowl, pour the hot water. Sprinkle the yeast packet and sugar over the hot water. Let sit for about 5 minutes for the yeast to bloom before mixing.

Once yeast has bloomed, add in 2 tablespoons olive oil, flour, and 2 teaspoons salt.

Your ingredients thus far should form a (sticky!) ball of dough.

In a separate, large, mixing bowl pour in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, should coat the inside of the bowl completely.

Place your ball of dough in the new mixing bowl. Turn it a few times so that the entirety of the dough has been coated in the oil.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Place it somewhere warm for 20-30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Line a cookie or baking sheet with tin foil. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the center. With your fingers, move oil around so to cover where dough would touch the foil.

Before placing the dough on the foil, sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt over the oil.

Place dough on cookie sheet, forming into a loaf shape.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt, black pepper, and rosemary over the top of the loaf.

Bake for 30 minutes.
