Amazing Rosemary Bread
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons vegan margarine, divided
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour, divided
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped, divided
1. Place yeast, sugar and water in large bowl or food processor and allow mixture to become bubbly. Mix in 1 tablespoon margarine, salt, and 2 cups flour.
2. Add one tablespoon of the fresh chopped rosemary. Knead for about 10 minutes by hand or in food processor about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if necessary.
3. Oil a bowl, put dough in it and cover with a towel. Let dough rise in a warm place for one hour until doubled. Punch down dough and divide in half. Let dough rest about 5 minutes.
4. Shape the dough into 2 small rounded oval loaves. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary over the loaves and press lightly into the surface. Let loaves rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes. Grease a baking pan or sheet, and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Carefully remove from oven, brush with remaining vegan margarine (and salt if desired).
SO HOW'D IT GO?
This is BETTER than macaroni grill's bread!!! I have a small rosemary bush and will pluck the poor thing bare so I can use two heaping tablespoons of rosemary. I lightly brush the loaves with olive oil and sprinkle them with a little bit of fine sea salt - mmmmmmm. I have eaten a whole loaf by myself so now I have to force myself to stay away so other people can taste how delicious it is too :)
so happy ;)b i've called my sister and my parents to tell them about this recipe!
what a great way to spend the afternoon - baking this grrrrreat bread.
and it does taste like macaroni grill's bread..
thank you THANK YOU for sharing!
:)
I'm glad you like it!
This bread is the SHIT. I am absolutely saving this recipe forever and ever! Thank you, SoG. You are officially my favorite vegwebber of today!
Wow this was good. I had to use brown sugar, whole wheat flour and dried rosemary but it still turned out great. I served it with my good olive oil infused with cracked pepper (that's what Macaroni Grill does, right?). I've never has their rosemary bread but this one is excellent, and so easy. :)>>>
This bread smells as good as it tastes... Very flavourful and simple to make. Thanks for sharing. ;)b
is it okay to use active dry yeast?
Yeah! That's what I always use.
is it okay to use active dry yeast?
*gasp* This looks sooooo great. The bread is my favorite part of macaroni grill, yummy! I can't wait to try it. My little brother will freak out if it actually tastes good. Thanks for the recipe. :)
I used wheat flour this time...and it wasn't quite as good, but still a great bread! ^-^
