Macaroni Grill Rosemary Bread Copycat Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place yeast, sugar, and water in large bowl or food processor and allow to proof until the mixture becomes bubbly.
• 2. Mix in 1 tablespoon butter, salt, and 2 cups flour. Add 1 tablespoon rosemary. Knead by hand for about 10 minutes or in a food processor for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if necessary. Place in an oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat. Cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• 3. Punch down dough, divide in half, and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Spray a baking pan or cookie sheet with cooking spray. Shape the dough into 2 small rounded oval loaves. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary over the bread and press lightly into the surface. Let the loaves rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• 4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully remove bread from the oven and brush with remaining tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with salt, if desired.

Steps:

• Place ingredients, according to manufacturer's directions into your bread machine. Some call for all liquids, or all dry ingredients first, so know your machine. Set machine to "dough cycle" and wait. (This takes most machines about an hour and a half for a full cycle). Remove from machine when cycle is complete and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Shape dough by hand, into a rectangular mound, spreading kind of thin, maybe an inch or two of thickness. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size. (This is a good time to go ahead and turn the oven on to preheat and help warm the kitchen). Brush with a little olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary and salt if desired. (This is the way its done at Macaroni Grill). Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until crust is golden and crispy. Bread is meant to be a flatter shape and not a high rising bread. Have everyone tear their pieces of bread with their hands,and serve with olive oil flavored with fresh ground pepper.
