The main reason I go to Macaroni Grill is for their warm, freshly baked rosemary bread. I eat so much of it that by the time my entree comes I’m not really hungry anymore. I’m sure they are thinking; seriously this girl wants another loaf?

Why yes, don’t mind if I do thank you…and another one after that please :). Unfortunately I don’t live very close to a Macaroni Grill so I had to learn how to make the bread at home.

I used fresh rosemary in this recipe but if you don’t have fresh you could substitute 1 1/2 Tbsp dried crushed rosemary.

You could also add in some roasted garlic to the bread dough or add some fresh garlic to the dipping oil for another layer of flavor.

And yes, just be sure you do serve it with the pepper oil for dipping – it’s the second best part. Hopefully this incredibly fluffy and flavorful bread will find it’s way to your dinner menu soon because you’re going to love it! Enjoy!

    I’ve made this before , following your directions exactly and it’s great. I have numerous other things to do today and I am wondering if I could use my bread machine? It would save me a lot of steps, I think. Thank you. ~Sherry

      I haven’t tested this but I imagine it would work in a bread machine as well on a standard white bread setting.

Can you over knead bread dough? ›

While underworked dough can simply be fixed by a little more kneading, severely overworked dough cannot be fixed. Instead, the overworked dough will result in a hard loaf that will likely not be eaten. It's important not to overwork your dough and continually check for overworking throughout the kneading process.

Is it better to knead dough by hand or machine? ›

While some enjoy the rhythmic motion of kneading by hand, there are advantages to using a stand mixer. Using a stand mixer takes less time because you can mix and knead the dough in the same bowl. Machine kneading is also easier on the wrists and hands.

Why do restaurants give bread with pasta? ›

Pasta sauces are known for their flavourful and often savoury profiles. Bread serves as a versatile tool for savouring every last bit of sauce left on the plate. Whether it's a creamy Alfredo or a hearty Bolognese, bread can be used to mop up the remaining sauce, ensuring that no flavour is wasted.

Cook covered on a pre-heated grill between 425-450 for thirty minutes. Remove the lid and bake for 15-20 more minutes until an internal thermometer reads between 205-210 degrees. Cool for an hour, slice, and enjoy!
