Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
4 Cups All Purpose Flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt, 2 teaspoons Sugar, 2 teaspoons Instant Yeast
Add the water and herbs and then mix until combined.
2 Cups Warm Water, 2 teaspoons Rosemary, 1 teaspoon Thyme, 1 teaspoon Parsley
Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm spot to rise for at least an hour. (Preheat an oven to 170 degrees for 10 min if your house is chilly. With the door cracked place the bowl in.)
Preheat the oven to 425. Grease two 1.5-qt oven-safe mixing bowls with about a tablespoon of softened butter each.
2-3 Tablespoons Butter
Use two forks to begin scraping it from the sides of the bowl and folding it into and on top of the dough to create a ball shape.
Then, using the forks, divide the dough into two equal portions. Place half of the dough in the first buttered bowl then repeat with the second half of dough in the other bowl.
Allow to rest, uncovered for 30 min more. Transfer to the oven for 15 minutes, turn down to 375 degrees and bake 15 min more.
Remove from the oven and brush with olive oil or melted butter and a sprinkle of flaked sea salt if desired.
