For the Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp instant yeast
1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 cup warm water

For the Garlic Oil

1 cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

1Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, yeast, and sugar.
3Add warm water and mix until a dough forms.
4Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
5Shape the dough into a ball and place it on a greased baking sheet.

Tips: You can add more red pepper flakes for a spicier dip. Store any leftover garlic oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

For long-term storage, transfer the cooled dip into an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

When reheating the dip, simply warm it up gently over low heat until it reaches your desired temperature – be careful not to overheat it!
