In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook (or by hand in a bowl), add the sugar and yeast to the warm water. Then, let the yeast mixture rise for 5-10 minutes.
To the yeast mixture, add salt, all but ½ teaspoon of rosemary, olive oil, and flour.
Then, add in the flour and bring together with a dough hook or hands until the mixture forms a loose ball.
Now, add in the parmesan cheese and continue to knead for 5 minutes.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
“Punch” down the dough with your fist, before lifting it and dropping it back into the bowl a few times.
Next, turn the dough onto a floured surface and form it into a circular round shape.
Place the round bread onto a baking sheet that has been lightly greased with cooking spray.
Next, add the remaining chopped rosemary to the bread and gently pat it so it sticks.
Cover the bread and let it rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Brush the bread with melted butter and sprinkle additional parmesan over the bread.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack.
