Macaroni Grill Bread

(This one's for you mom) :)

As you know, Macaroni Grill is one of my favorite restaurants! I saw this recipe and had to try it. Of course, it doesn't taste exactly like the real deal (they never do) :), but it is pretty darn close & is easy to make.

1 Tbsp yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary

Topping:
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 Tbsp fresh course salt

Mix yeast, sugar, and water till frothy. Add 2 cups of the flour, salt, oil, and rosemary; mix until smooth. Add enough flour to make a soft dough, form into a round loaf and place on a lightly greased pan. Cover and let rise until doubled in size - about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450. Brush melted butter over the entire loaf, sprinkle with rosemary and course salt. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Serve with oil and balsamic vinegar.
