We made this tonight and it was really yummy!
Macaroni Grill Rosemary Bread
1 packet yeast
2 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 c. flour
2 tbsp dried rosemary
1 tsp salt
1. Mix the yeast and sugar with 1/4 c. lukewarm water. Let sit until foam, about 5 minutes.
2. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, flour, 1 1/2 tspb rosemary, salt and 3/4 c. warm water. Knead for 10 minutes, either by hand or using your dough hook.
3. Brush a large bowl with olive oil, put dough in and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until more than double. (recipe says 2 hours, mine doubled a lot faster than that)
4. Brush 2 baking sheets with olive oil. Form the dough into 4 square shaped loaves. Let rise, uncovered until doubled. (once again, it did not take me 2 hours, but that is what the recipe calls for).
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Take it out, brush the top with olive oil and top with remaining rosemary. Let bake for another 8-10 minutes. ( I did 10 the first time and it was overcooked. The second batch I only cooked 8 more minutes and it was perfect).
I stole this recipe for the Food Network magazine. This recipe was VERY similar to Macaroni Grill. I love eating there, but can't eat much of their food since my gallbladder surgery. The bread was my favorite part and I was amazed at how similar the recipe was. It definetly fulfilled my cravings. So yummy! We had it with a turkey breast, and it was a really yummy dinner.
