Rosemary, garlic salt and Parmesan cheese give incredible flavor to this round loaf from Patty Lashbrook. "Crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside, it's great with Italian food," writes the San Jose, California reader. "I serve warm slices along with peppered olive oil."

I made this bread to go with homemade potato soup and it was excellent.

My whole family loves this bread! I occasionally add in feta cheese or spinach or sauteed onion and garlic. It's perfect just the way it is, though!

I do not have a bread machine but this recipe goes conventional very well with ingredients as stated, knead 8 minutes, rise about 40 minutes first, punch down and shape, rise another 30-40 minutes. Light and tasty. Best bread I have done in a long time. I also made the mistake of putting the cheese and tyme in the dough. Tastiest mistake I have ever made!!!! Wonderful.
