- All-purpose flour
- Active dry yeast
- Baking soda

- Sugar
- Salt
- Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Grated Parmesan
- Coarse salt
- Butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Bloom yeast with warm water and sugar until foamy.
- Mix in flour and salt; knead until smooth and elastic.

- Top with rosemary, Parmesan, and coarse salt.
- Bake until deep golden brown and cheese is bubbling inside; brush with butter if desired.
