I think somebody bumped their noggin. Rosemary? Garnish with sea salt and pepper? For
Hi Jeff! That recipe is correct. The rosemary gives the bread amazing flavor! It’s one of my personal favorite recipes—my family adores it.
I am looking at the recipe in the taste of the south fall baking magazine. The directions are not the same as they are on this page. The ingredients are correct but the directions are not. There is no olive oil or rosemary for this recipe, and no mention of sea salt and pepper for garnish. I think someone had mixed up 2 different bread recipes.
Hi Stephanie! I think the recipe you’re looking at is for our Rosemary Focaccia. This is a list post that contains multiple bread recipes all using the same master dough. If you click the third page, you’ll find the Pumpkin Twist recipe. Hope this helps!
