This bread smells wonderful when it’s baking in the oven. I make it mostly during the summer when rosemary is abundant in the garden, but also around the holidays when rosemary plants are available in stores. —Tammy Bollman, Minatare, Nebraska

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup warm 2% milk (70° to 80°)
  • 1/4 cup water (70° to 80°)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 2-3/4 cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

Directions

  1. In bread machine pan, place the milk, water, butter, egg, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and yeast in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
  2. When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Punch dough down. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape into an 11-in. circle; place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make several 1/4-in. indentations in dough.
