new to making bread...took some suggestions and just used the machine to make the dough. i put it in the oven until golden on 375. i also used fresh rosemary. i've made over 6 loaves in three days. everyone loves it! great crust!

this is wonderful I doubled the herbs though. A spectacular bread. freezes well too

I make this bread at least once a week. It's wonderful, and so easy to make. I grew rosemary in my garden this summer just so that I could use it for this bread. Some people said the rosemary flavor was overpowering, but I eat this bread with soups and chowders, toning down the strength a bit. I frequently give this bread to friends, who always ask me for the recipe. Make this bread at least once!

Made this by hand, and it was the most perfect loaf of bread I've ever made. I used 5T of olive oil (4 in the dough, 1 to brush top of loaf after it came out of the oven). The flavor and texture were dead on. If you're making by hand, bake at 375 for 15-20 min. Took mine out at 17 min, it could not have turned out better.

It is just like Macaroni Grill. Awesome. After reading the reviews I did 1/2 milk, 1/2 water for the liquid for the lighter crust color and put my bread machine on the light crust setting. It was extremely light, so Ill probably use the same ration, but set to medium. Thanks so much!

Absulotely amazing! I made a slight variation...I added 1/3 cup finely chopped sun dried tomatoes and 1/3 cup dry milk...and my loaf ended up tasting better than Panera Bread's similar bread. Good recipe. Will definitely make more of this!

This recipe was great! I think I forgot the sugar, and since I didn't see rosemary in the pantry, I put more italian seasoning. The bread was wonderfully crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. And because I wanted the bread done quickly, I used quick-rise yeast and a rapid-bake cycle on the machine, and it worked fablously. Edit to add: I used water and the bread was great.

Great stuff! I made my own "Italian seasoning" using an equal-volume mixture of oregano, minced onion, garlic salt, and basil leaves and use slightly more than called for. My roommates loved it, and so did my family at one holiday gathering---stole the show!

OMG!!!!!!! SOOOOOO GOOOOD!

I have used this recipe several times now, and it comes out perfect every time! I recommend brushing it with olive oil and putting it in the oven for about 5-10 minutes - makes the crust even crispier!

Delicious!! My BF and I both thought it was just like Macaroni Grill's warm bread. When I first took it out of the bread machine I thought that it would be dense, but its airy and has a wonderful crust. I did use the suggestion of replacing the water with milk. So yummy... served with olive oil and cracked black pepper. YUMMY!! Thanks Jo!

Baked for about 30 minutes in our convection oven at 325 degrees. Came out very good. I will keep this recipe for the future. Makes a great dipping bread as mentioned.

I followed the bake by hand review and it turned out delicious! It was my first time making bread and it turned out fantastic. I baked it on 375 for 25 minutes. I will definately make this again!

Oh. My. God. This is *fabulous*! My new favorite bread, and I make lots of really great bread. This works really, really well in the bread machine, and is terrific made in the oven too. I brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle it with some coarse salt, and then we break it apart with our hands to eat. Of course we serve it with some herbed or peppered olive oil for dipping.

My family LOVED it. They couldn't believe that i made it and didn't bring it from a restaurant. Warm and good.

Delicious, fragrant bread. I've made it twice now, with excellent results and rave reviews from my family! I usually have a hard time thinking what to do with leftover bread, but with this recipe, there's never a crumb left.

If it wasn’t for their chicken cannelloni, I could stop frequenting Macaroni Grill. Reviewers are not joking, this is it! I used milk in place of water and will try water next time just to see what the difference is. Either way, it is tasty! After it was finished baking, I brushed with a combination of extra virgin olive oil and table salt. Use the light crust setting (medium makes the crust too thick). Some stated the bread was too salty. Make sure you are using Italian seasoning from the spice section and not the powdered salad dressing mix which contains additional salt. Thank you Jo!
