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.

    Make this bread! It is so so good! I use my Kitchenaid mixer with the dough hook attachment. After adding the salt, Rosemary and flour, mix on lowest speed until dough forms. Then mix on second speed for 2 minutes and it’s done kneading and ready to be put in the greased bowl to rise. That is the only thing I do different to save on kneading time. Thank you so much for this recipe. I will be making it again and again!

    Amazing recipe! So easy to make! Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if I could leave the bread rise overnight or for a few hours? Would that result in overproofing? Thanks!

      I would probably refrigerate it if I was going to do it overnight or it will overproof I think.
