Macaroni Grill Copy Cat Bread Recipe

Recipe thanks to Christy on OHO.


1 Tbsp yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 Tbsp fresh)
Topping:
2 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 Tbsp fresh)
Salt

Mix yeast, sugar, and water till frothy. Add 2 cups of the flour, salt, oil and rosemary and mix till smooth. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Form into a round loaf and place on a lightly greased pan. Brush the loaf with butter using a pastry brush. It will be really wet. Sprinkle with rosemary and salt. Let rise till doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake in a 450 oven for about 18-20 minutes. Serve with balsamic vinegar and olive oil if desired.


*****
I substituted other dried herbs for the rosemary (I don't keep that around). I also brushed the loaf with a small amount of olive oil since it was already out and required less effort. lol. Still turned out great. DH says that this bread is better than MG. :)
