   Pour half of the remaining oil onto a rimmed 13x9-inch baking sheet, transfer dough to pan and press it out with you fingertips until it covers the entire pan.

   Drizzle remaining oil on top of dough (this will seem like too much oil) however it will get absorbed as the bread cooks. Remove rosemary leaves from springs and roughly chop and sprinkle on top of bread.

7. 7

   Allow bread to sit uncovered while oven heats to 425 F.

8. 8

   Sprinkle top of dough with kosher salt and allow to bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
