Common Questions
- → Can I use dried rosemary instead of fresh?
Yes, dried rosemary works well. Use about half the amount of fresh rosemary as dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor.
- → What milk alternatives are suitable for this bread?
Plant-based milks like almond, soy, or oat milk can be used to make this bread vegan while maintaining moisture and texture.
- → How do I know when the bread is fully baked?
The bread should be golden brown on top and cooked through. A light tap on the bottom should sound hollow, indicating it's done.
- → Can I add other herbs or flavors to the dough?
Absolutely. Chopped chives, thyme, or a sprinkle of grated cheese can enhance flavor and complement the garlic and rosemary.
- → Is it necessary to score the dough before baking?
Scoring helps create defined wedges for easy serving and ensures even cooking throughout the bread.
- → What texture does this bread have without yeast?
This bread has a soft but slightly dense texture, with a tender crumb and crisp, golden crust thanks to baking powder leavening.
