Macaroni Grill has some of the best bread. This bread is perfect for sopping up pasta sauce or enjoying on its own. The rosemary flavor is subtle, but it really makes this bread stand out. Slather on some butter and enjoy!

ingredients

1 cup warm water (110-120 degrees F)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon yeast
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons rosemary

directions

Mix water, sugar and yeast. Stir until yeast dissolves. Let sit 5 minutes, or until foamy.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and half of rosemary. Stir flour mixture with a wire whisk.

After yeast mixture becomes foamy, add the oil. Add 1 cup of flour to yeast mixture and stir until mixed. Keep adding flour about 1/2 cup at a time until it becomes dough.

Knead for 10 minutes, adding flour if necessary. Set dough in an oiled bowl, brush dough with oil, cover bowl with a cloth, and let dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Punch down dough and let sit for 5 minutes. Then, split dough into two pieces. Form into ovals and place on a greased baking pan. Let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.

After dough rises, brush melted butter on top of each oval. Bake at 450 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.

After 10 minutes in the oven brush more butter on top of bread and sprinkle each oval with the remaining rosemary.
