In a medium-large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, salt, yeast 
and rosemary. Make a well in the center and add the water. Mix with a 
sturdy rubber spatula until all flour is incorporated. Don't worry, 
the dough will be wet and sticky, that's how it should be.

Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and leave to rise at room 
temperature overnight or for up to 12 hours.

The following morning (or after 8 to 12 hours), the dough will have 
risen, but it may still look shaggy and its surface will be covered 
with bubbles. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 425F.

Spread a generous 1/4 cup of flour on a work surface. Dump the dough 
out onto the floured surface and turn it several times to coat with 
flour. I like to use a bench or baker's scraper for this. Knead the 
dough for one minute, adding more flour to the work surface as needed.

Divide the dough into 2 or 3 fairly equal portions, turning each 
piece in the flour to coat. (The bench scraper is also great for 
cutting the dough).

Shape each piece into a ball, pulling edges under and pinching 
together to make a smooth top. Place loaves on prepared pan, smooth 
side up. If the dough is sticky as you're shaping, just roll the 
piece in more of the flour.

Brush each loaf all over with melted butter. Sprinkle generously with 
rosemary and sea salt.

Preheat oven to 425F. Allow bread to rise for about 20 minutes while 
oven is preheating.

Transfer pan to the oven. Bake 23 to 28 minutes or until nicely 
golden. Transfer bread to a cooling rack to cool completely.

If making in advance, remove from oven when pale golden brown (about 
3 to 4 minutes less). Cool completely, then freeze on a baking sheet. 
Once frozen, transfer each loaf to a large ziplock bag and store in 
the freezer.

To serve, allow bread to thaw, then heat for 8 to 10 minutes at 350F 
or until nicely golden brown.
