Key Ingredients For Rosemary Garlic Bread

Active dry yeast combines with water, sugar, and salt to add flavor to the dough and provide structure to the bread, creating the fluffy texture we're looking to achieve.
Bread flour is then added to the mix to complete the base of the dough.
High-quality olive oil is drizzled on top, acting as a tenderizer and keeping your rosemary garlic bread soft.
Plenty of flavor belongs here! Rosemary, black pepper, oregano, and roasted garlic create a savory flavor that is out-of-this-world delicious.

Pro-Tips For The Best Rosemary Garlic Bread

Be sure your yeast is very fresh to ensure a good rise.
Let the yeast sit long enough to activate. Otherwise, your bread won't rise in the oven! You'll know it's ready when it begins to foam.
Measure the ingredients carefully, taking care not to "tap down" flour when measuring. Always use dry measuring cups and the scoop and scrape method as described here.
You can roast several heads of garlic ahead at a time and keep them airtight in the fridge to use for recipes like this. Roasted garlic can last nicely for up to a week.
To speed up the rising process, place your rosemary garlic bread in an oven that has been slightly warmed up.
After 25-30 minutes of baking, bump up the temperature of your oven to 425F, and spray your loaf with water. This will help create that nice thick crust while preventing your bread from burning.
Every oven bakes slightly differently. So, be sure to keep a close eye on your bread, and remove it from the oven as soon as the top has turned golden brown!
