This simple yeast bread is infused with fresh rosemary and sprinkled with sea salt for a beautiful loaf that goes well with almost any meal.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I’ve always loved the aroma and flavor of fresh rosemary in a homemade loaf of bread, which is probably why this simple Rustic Rosemary Bread is one of my favorites.
It’s so simple to make (rustic means you don’t have to worry about ending up with a perfectly shaped loaf!), and it goes well with pretty much any meal.
If you have a Macaroni Grill in your area and you’ve ever had the focaccia bread they serve with every meal, this tastes a lot like that. So basically, it’s amazing!
Our Macaroni Grill closed a few years ago, so I’m really glad I can still make this bread at home!
Of course, the danger with bread this good is always that you’ll eat too much and not have room for the main course. But this crusty, aromatic bread is just so hard to resist.
And the smell while it’s baking is just heavenly, thanks to the fresh rosemary! The only thing better than the smell of fresh baking bread is slathering a piece with butter as soon as it comes out of the oven.
This recipe does make two small loaves, which is perfect for my bread-loving family. The dog got a hold of an entire loaf–turns out she loves it too.
And honestly, by teen and young adult boys could probably each finish off a loaf on their own and still have room for dinner.
If you’d like to serve this bread restaurant style, pour some olive oil on a plate then add some salt, pepper and fresh herbs. then tear apart the bread and dip it in the savory oil mixture. So good!
If you’re only cooking for one or two, you might want to half the recipe. But honestly, I’d just make both loaves of this Rustic Rosemary Bread and freeze one for later–if it lasts until later!
Be sure to save this recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
