Bread machine rosemary bread smells amazing as it’s baking. When it’s done the bread is firm and tastes of rosemary.
It’s perfect for sandwiches. I’ve used it for ham sandwiches (and those were good), but rosemary bread is really great when paired with chicken or turkey.
The Man of the House also likes to have rosemary bread for a snack. He toasts it and then slathers it with cream cheese. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds.

Start by mixing the milk and the egg in a bowl or 2-cup measuring cup. If you’re using dried rosemary, add the herb to the milk-egg mixture to rehydrate it.
Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the machine first.
Make sure you check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading.
Pop the top of the bread machine and see how the dough is doing. It should be a smooth, round ball. If it’s too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until it looks right. If it looks too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks right.
