Rosemary Bread

This Rosemary Bread, Macaroni Grill Copycat bread has amazing flavor and would be the perfect accompaniment  to any dinner menu.

Have you ever woken up in the morning thinking about a recipe or something you’ve eaten in the past.  It happens to me quite often.  The other day I woke up thinking about this Rosemary Bread.  It had been years since I had made it but I was craving it for some reason.  I’m not sure what set off the craving.  I first had the bread at Macaroni Grill, an Italian restaurant chain that I don’t think is even in Portland any longer.  A friend had given me a copycat recipe for it and I made it at home quite often after I first got the recipe.  I especially loved to serve it with soup or this favorite pasta, Penne Rustica  (also a copycat recipe from Macaroni Grill).

Macaroni Grill Copycat Rosemary Bread

I decided I needed to make it this past weekend so I went to the blog to get the recipe and much to my surprise, it wasn’t on the blog!  All my favorite recipes are on the blog.  I’m not sure how I missed this one but I’m about to remedy that.  The recipe makes two small round loaves and comes together quickly and easily.  I like to make it with fresh rosemary but if all you have is dried rosemary that will work but be sure and try it with fresh rosemary sometime!  If you use dried rosemary, use half the amount of fresh rosemary.

Rosemary Bread

I gave it a coat of melted butter, some additional fresh rosemary on top and a sprinkle of my favorite flaked salt from Jacobson Salt.  You can also play around with some of your other favorite herb combinations to change things up.  I served it this weekend with some homemade tomato soup.

You could make one larger loaf but I like to make two so that I have one to share! I think bread always tastes better if it’s shared with someone else.

    I have never used fresh rosemary before, but a friend just gave me some today. I was wondering if you chop the rosemary or leave it whole when you make this bread.

          Just finished making a double batch which I turned into 9 mini loaves. Turned out wonderful. Very mild with the fresh rosemary. I’m on my second double batch right now. I will be taking them to my elderly neighbors so that I can’t check on them to see how they are doing during this pandemic. I’ve been doin this every week with different goodies. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

    Leigh Anne,

    I appreciate the way you present your recipes with pictures. Sometimes when you read a recipe you assume you are doing it correctly. With your recipes, you know what to expect.

    Love the smell of fresh rosemary. Can’t wait to try this one.

    Thanks!

    This can also be baked in 2 bread pans can it not?

      Sure, the bake time may be different as the bread will be thicker.

    Do you think this Rosemary Bread recipe would bake up just as
    good in a bread maker?

      Patricia, I don’t have a bread maker and am not familiar with how they work so I’m not sure but I’d give it a try!!
