    Rosemary Garlic Braid Recipe

    Hi, bulletin board members! I have recently resubscribed to Taste of Home and read about a recipe that appeared in the Dec./Jan. 2002 issue for a bread called Rosemary Garlic Braid. Did anyone keep this recipe that would not mind sharing it with me? Thanks for your time.

    Here is your recipe! Sure sounds good!!

    Rosemary Garlic Braid

    5 whole garlic bulbs
    2 tsp olive oil
    1/4 minced fesh rosemary *or* 4 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
    1 Tblsp. chicken broth
    9 to 9-1/2 cups bread flour
    1/2 cup sugar
    3 pkgs. (1/4 oz. each) quick-rise yeast
    3 tsp salt
    1-1/2 cups milk
    1 cup water
    3/4 cup butter, divided
    1 egg
    1-1/2 tsp garlic salt

    Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut top off garlic heads, leaving root end intact. Place cut side up in a small baking dish. Brush with oil; sprinkle with rosemary. Cover and bake at 425 for 30-35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10 minutes; sqeeze soft garlic into a bowl. Add broth;lightly mash.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat milk, water and 1/2 cup butter to 120-130. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Beat in egg and garlic paste until smooth. Stir in enough dough to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

    Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in thirds. Divide each portion into three pieces; shape each into a 18-in. rope. Place three ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
    Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Melt remaining butter; add garlic salt. Brush over bread. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire racks to cool. Yield: 3 loaves

    Let me know how they turn out! Yum!

    This bread is delicious and goes so well with a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. I made it last year, but had misplaced the recipe. I am so glad that you requested it. It is worth the work, I never dreamed of roasted garlic or rosemary in bread. Thanks, and have a wonderful holidya season.

    Thank you for requesting this recipe, I misplaced mine. This bread is so good I started growing rosemary in my yard...once I made these loaves when it was so cold my braids didn't rise much & it was still good (My husband's italian & thought it was as good as focaccia!)
