Macaroni Grill Bread


I got this recipe off the internet on RecipeZaar, and it is absolutely divine! It tastes just like Macaroni Grill's Bread. It may even be better. It is really easy to make too. I love to dip this bread in balsamic vinaigrette mixed with olive oil, parmesan cheese, and pepper. I'm drooling thinking about this bread right now!

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (3 teaspoons dried rosemary)
2 tablespoons butter

Directions:
1. Place yeast, sugar and water in large bowl or food processor and allow mixture to become bubbly.
2. Mix in 1 T butter, salt, and 2 cups of flour.
3. Add one tablespoon of the fresh chopped rosemary or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary.
4. Knead for about 10 minutes by hand or in food processor about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Add more flour if necessary.
6. Oil a bowl, put dough in it and cover with a towel.
7. Let dough rise in a warm place for one hour until doubled.
8. Punch down dough and divide in half.
9. Let dough rest about 5 minutes.
10. Spray baking pan or cookie sheet with cooking spray.
11. Shape the dough into 2 small rounded oval loaves.
12. Sprinkle remaining 1 Tablespoon of rosemary (1 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary) over the loaves and press lightly into the surface.
13. Let loaves rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
14. Preheat oven to 375°F.
15. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
16. Carefully remove from oven, brush with remaining butter (and salt if desired).
