rosemary bread

I mentioned in this week's Much Love Monday post that I was feeling the urge to bake some bread...

gathering the ingredients

...so I did!

I used this recipe for rosemary bread, with a few adaptations-- for instance, I omitted the corn meal because a) I don't like the texture and b) I didn't have any.  So that worked out well.

mixing, mixing, mixing

I also used about twice the amount of rosemary than the recipe calls for-- some for mixing into the dough, and some to sprinkle on top.

waiting for the dough to rise...

I'm so pleased with how the bread turned out!  It was cold and chilly outside, and the baking bread filled the house with such a warm, comforting scent.

the crust came out nice and chewy, and the inside was perfectly soft.

I hope you're having a wonderful, cozy afternoon on this autumn day!
