Italian Peasant Bread from Recipe Zaar. It tastes very similar to the bread at Macaroni Grill. We dipped it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar with fresh cracked pepper. I’ll make a double loaf next time. I didn’t have any fresh rosemary so I used 2 Tbsp of dried (powdered) rosemary. I topped it with a quick spray of olive oil, and a light sprinkle of garlic powder, salt, and a teeny tiny bit of rosemary. Go make this.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary
1 tablespoon yeast
additional rosemary (to garnish)
salt (to garnish)

Directions:

  1. Place ingredients, according to manufacturer’s directions into your bread machine (some call for all liquids, or all dry ingredients first, so know your machine). Set machine to “dough cycle” and wait. (This takes most machines about an hour and a half for a full cycle).
  2. Remove from machine when cycle is complete and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  3. Shape dough by hand, into a rectangular mound, spreading kind of thin, maybe an inch or two of thickness.
  4. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size. (This is a good time to go ahead and turn the oven on to preheat and help warm the kitchen).
  5. Brush with a little olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary and salt if desired. (This is the way its done at Macaroni Grill).
  6. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until crust is golden and crispy. Bread is meant to be a flatter shape and not a high rising bread.
