Best smell in the world? Fresh baked bread… it even beats out clean laundry and hot from the oven cookie. I’ve been craving rosemary bread for sometime. My recipe is modified from this one.
Fresh Baked Rosemary Bread
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour, 1 c. whole-wheat flour, 1 c. warm water, 1 Tbsp. yeast, 1 Tbsp. sugar, 2 Tbsp. rosemary, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper, 1 tsp. fresh ground sea salt, 3 Tbsp. butter, extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Dissolve yeast and sugar in water, stir and set aside until yeast is activated. Mix in 2 Tbsp. butter, salt, pepper, rosemary, Italian seasoning and flour. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Oil a metal bowl, place dough in it, cover with a damp towel and set in a warm place. Allow dough to rise for an hour, dough should double in size. Punch dough down and divide into two loaves. Oil baking pan, shape the dough into 2 oval loaves. Return to warm place and allow to rise for another hour. Preheat oven 375ºF. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Melt remaining butter and brush over loaves (sprinkle with additional salt and rosemary if desired). Serve hot.
Sprinkle olive oil with salt, pepper and any herbs you want, and dip in bread.
What’s your favorite smell?

I also love the smell of freshly baked bread.
My favourite smell is not food related – it is the smell of Elizabeth Anne’s Special Baby Shampoo.

Only some of my favorite smells are food. but I also love the smell of campfires, laundry, lavender… etc…

I love love love rosemary bread! My husband likes it okay – rosemary isn’t his favorite scent. But every now and then I make it and it is always so delightful! 🙂
Hubster loves the bread, but not the smell of rosemary…
I am really trying that tonight! Hubby is working local for now, and I’m trying to spoil him while I’ve got him 😉 I even baked bread and made spaghetti sauce already – the smell of that combined is it for me!
That’s great, enjoy your extra time together!
I’ve got that bread in the oven now. I had to double the recipe, as I made some for my friend next door too. See what you started? LOL.
Wonderful! Let me know how you like it!
lo-oved it! Making it again today for the soup I’m making from the leftover roast.
I’m glad!
That would smell delicious. I love the smell of buttery popcorn.
Ooh, that is a good one too!
Sounds like something I would definitely make!
Let me know if you do!
