Rosemary Artisan Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon dry yeast
    2 cups water
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 tablespoon sea salt
    2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 teaspoon instant minced garlic
    1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
    1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
    6 cups all-purpose flour
Preparation
    Mix yeast, warm water and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside for five minutes, or until mixture becomes foamy.
    Stir in olive oil, lemon, salt, rosemary, garlic, onion, cheese and 3 cups flour into the yeast mixture.
    Gradually mix in next three cups of flour. (Dough will be stiff). Knead for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
    Place in an oiled bowl, turning to cover sides with oil. Cover with a towel, or plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 hour, or until dough has doubled.
    Punch down to release all the air. Shape into a ball. Place in a greased ceramic stoneware, or into two 9x5 inch, greased pans.
    Allow to rise for 1/2 hour again, until doubled in a warm place.
    Bake at 350 degrees for 2 loaves, 30 minutes, for one loaf, 40 minutes.
    Remove loaves from pans and let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes, before slicing.
