Looking for a Rosemary SD recipe
Anyone made a sourdough bread with rosemary and or garlic. Easter is coming and I’d love to make one. Thought I’d check in with the experts.
Thanks, Sharon

I'm definitely no garlic-in-bread expert, but for rosemary:
?
I like the combination of black olives (20%) and rosemary.
Rosemary just needs to be snipped and kneaded right into the dough. Feta cubes- sliced olives and olive oil with rosemary tastes delicious!
I'm not fond of roasted garlic and when garlic is baked into a loaf, it tastes like roasted garlic to me. YMMV.
Spring is coming! How about chive blossom bread? I snip the lovely lavendar flowers when they are newly opened, wash and pull apart gently. Add all to the dough. The ones on the inside will remain a little lavendar. The outer ones brown on the crust. Delicious, delicate onion flavor.
How about a screaming yellow loaf? Turmeric and orange (juice and rind), or turmeric and tarragon make great combinations.
Have fun!
Be careful when you add the rosemary. Those little spikey leaves, added too early in the mixing, can act as mini knives to impede or destroy developing gluten. If you are mixing by machine, they should be put in, at the earliest, during the final 30 seconds or so on the slowest speed to incorporate. If mixing by hand, then on the first letter fold.
I also like an olive/rosemary combination if you are looking for inspiration.

I’ve got a lot to think about. I was going to make a rosemary bread and an olive bread.
Most (essentially all) canned black olives have poor flavour and disappointing texture. In bread, I'd recommend the pre-sliced green olives - or maybe Kalamata if you like those.

Thanks Abe - I like it. Will save that one for another day!
Lots to think about. I never use canned olives - mind you I only made one bread with olives and found it salty. I also made a rosemary bread but it was just ok, and many use yeast.
Danni is creating one for me and I will definitely reach out to all of you again for further information. Will keep you updated!
Thanks for all the quick responses!

Rosemary Sourdough (with Olives if you wish)
This recipe makes two loaves of around ~800 g. I am giving you the option of having one with rosemary and olive oil, and doing the other one with olives in it. Otherwise don’t divide the dough until the preshape. On dough making day, I usually start around 8 to 9 am but then again, I am dealing with 4 batches of dough. I think you should be okay if you start around 10 am.
