Rosemary & Sea Salt Skillet Bread

One of my favorite parts of almost every meal... Bread! I'm with Oprah on this one... No diet could keep me away from the bread!

There is something about the smell of fresh baked bread. I remember growing up my Momma had a bread maker and even now every time I smell fresh bread my mind goes immediately back to our kitchen when I was younger. Don't you love how some smells just take your mind back to the best memories?!

I especially loved how the smell of this rosemary skillet bread and how it filled our little home all day! Filled with rosemary and topped with sea salt this easy skillet bread comes together in a matter of minutes! (Oh and did I mention that the crust is absolutely amazing!)

You probably have all of the ingredients right there in your pantry already. But the best part... No kneading! Simply combine all of your ingredients, let rise, place in cast iron skillet, and bake! Dip in olive oil, pasta sauce, or butter and enjoy the most amazing blend of herb filled bread!

    I've been scared of making bread for 35+ years but this recipe has converted me; I just made my third successful loaf (olive and rosemary). Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂

    I sooo agree with you & Oprah - eating healthy is okay, but I can't live without bread! I made a similar bread a while ago, but I poked holes in it and I've gotta say this looks so much prettier. My compliments! I check foodgawker to improve my own food photography, and the setup, lighting and quality (how do you say that? the picture is really clear!) caught my eye. I wanted to tell you that, as I believe in positive feedback 🙂 Oh, and the bread looks delicious too of course... Lol!
