Rosemary Bread (Bread Machine)

Noni Suzanne's Note:

This is an easy bread machine recipe that I came up with after tweaking a few other recipes, mixing and matching and finding what works for me. My family likes to eat this while still warm, and we usually dip it in olive oil, with a few drops of balsamic vinegar and coarsely ground pepper. I have listed ingredients by the way I add them to MY bread machine, so be sure to check that your particular bread machine doesn't require another way of adding ingredients. If so, follow your bread machines instructions for the order in which to add ingredients.

This was delicious warm and really smelled lovely. It did dry out quite quickly and was crumbly in the school lunches so I feel this is one to be enjoyed warm from the oven and it would be quite easy to eat the whole thing like that.
