Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast, warm water, and sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the yeast is activated and foamy.
2
Add olive oil, salt, and 1 cup of flour to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3
Gradually add the remaining cup of flour, rosemary, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the dough. Mix until a sticky ball forms.
4
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
6
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and shape it into a round or oblong loaf.
7
Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until it's golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
