This bread is a combination of two recipes. One from Williams-Sonoma (which took around 8 hours to rise and didn't turn out so well for me) and an Italian herb bread from s'kat. I like how this version turned out very light and airy and aromatic. I used rosemary from my garden and think the lemon really brings out the flavors. * I threw all of the ingredients in my KitchenAid mixer, gradually adding the flour last. * I let my oven warm at 400 deg. for 1 minute then turned it off and put my covered bread in to rise. This really does the trick!
