Rosemary bread machine recipes are a great way to bring the fresh flavors of the Mediterranean into your home. Simply combine 2 cups of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar in your bread machine's pan.
To get the perfect loaf, use 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary leaves. This will give your bread a fragrant and herbaceous flavor.
The liquid ingredients are just as important as the dry ingredients. Use 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to create a moist and tender crumb.

Instructions
To make rosemary bread in your bread machine, start by setting the machine to the "basic" bread setting with a 2-pound loaf and light color. This will ensure your bread turns out right.
Plug in your bread machine and remove the bread pan. Add all the ingredients, starting with the milk, to the bread machine's "bucket" (bread pan). Put the pan back into the machine.
Enter the settings and press the "Start" button. Before the baking cycle begins, sprinkle some rosemary on top of the bread dough. The baking time will depend on your machine, but ours takes about 3 hours for a 2-pound loaf at the light color and basic settings.
Your machine will show you the length of the baking time after you enter the settings. This will give you a heads up on when to be in the kitchen to remove the bread.
