Excellent bread! The only change I made was to add Italian seasoning. I'm going to try this as a pizza dough next time.

I found this recipe this morning and printed it and already made it for our lunch. Wonderful recipe but we don't like rosemary so I used a little coarse salt and some Asiago cheese on top. It has a little to much raw garlic taste so next time I will use just a little garlic powder but I definetly will make it again. Thank you for the recipe.

I've made a lot of homemade bread but my mom declared this her favorite! I add extra garlic and sometimes switch out some of the rosemary (not a big fan) for basil. My only tip would be wait to start pre-heating the oven until the bread is in the pan so that it has time to rise before baking. Also as others have recommended a sprinkle of kosher/sea salt on top really adds to it.

Wow! This tastes great and is so easy. I made it to go with the "Gourmet Chicken Sandwich" on this site. The dough came out perfect in the bread maker and went easily into the 13x9 inch pan. In addition to olive oil and rosemary (which by the way, I used dried because I didn't have any fresh), I sprinkled kosher salt and parmesan cheese on top. I will definitely make this again. So quick and easy. Am looking forward to serving it with a little olive oil and rosemary as a quick appetizer some time.

5 stars all the way! This was amazing bread! Only thing I did different was to give it a good 30 minutes rise time once out of the machine as getting it out and stretching it caused the bread to go flat. I just laid plastic wrap over it and microwaved a kitchen towel for about 20 sec. to heat it up and help warm the bread. Not sure if it was necessary but my bread did rise nicely. This was a home run for me. Can't wait to try other herbs and veges. Update...I made a plain version of this (minus herbs and garlic) and placed the dough in a regular loaf pan, let raise about 25 minutes and baked at 375 for 25 minutes. Husband said it was my best loaf of bread yet! This recipe is versatile!

Pretty good recipe, but I think I might tweak with the ingredients to see if it improves the texture or taste. Not bad for a first attempt!

Pretty good. I topped mine with just halved kalamata olives, and liberally brushed it with olive oil both on the pan and on top before I baked it.

This was wonderful!! I divvied up the dough into 8 mini loaf pans, allowed to rise a second time, and baked about 18 minutes. Perfect size for sandwiches, with a nice crust all around. Definitely sprinkle the top with kosher salt.
