Herbs: This bread is all about the fresh rosemary, but you can add other herbs and spices on top if you’d like to.
Best Flour for Baking
For this recipe I used Bob’s Red Mill’s Unbleached White All Purpose Flour. We use this in every baking recipe that calls for all-purpose flour and it has never let us down. Bob’s Red Mill has an amazing and well-founded reputation. Their quality products speak for themselves, and I’m honored to work with them. People love Bob’s Red Mill products for all sorts of reasons. I love the versatility of their line of products (they have everything!), the packaging (releasable flour bags for the win), and the consistency of quality.
