Copycat Macaroni Grill Rosemary Bread Recipe 

Make this copycat Macaroni Grill Rosemary Bread at home. This bread is packed with flavor from fresh rosemary. Yum!

You can shape this into round loaves or like French bread; either way, it comes out great. I usually bake it in two small pans that are about 6″ across.
