Garlic Rosemary Bread

Ok so earlier in the week, I made rolls and they were fantastic, so yesterday I decided to make breadsticks to go along with my spaghetti. I have to say the rolls were better. You could also make sandwich rolls, hamburger buns or a loaf, depending on how you shape it. Here is what you need:


3 c. unbleached flour
1 tbs sugar
2 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp fine sea salt
1 c. warm water
1tbs olive oil
2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
3 cloves of garlic finely minced
1tbs agave nectar

Place flour, sugar, yeast and salt in the bowl of a mixer and mix with the paddle attachment. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix with paddle attachment until dough is formed. Change to the bread hook and mix 5 minutes more. Move to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size. I prefer to let it rise about 4 hours, the dough is much lighter.

preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Shape the bread into the form that you are using. Makes about 10-12 dinner rolls, 6 hamburger rolls, 12 breadsticks or one loaf. Breadsticks bake 15 minutes. Dinner rolls bake 15-20 minutes. Hamburger buns bake 20-30 minutes and a loaf 30-45 minutes. Enjoy.
