The Best Grapefruit-Rosemary Bread Recipe

This breakfast bread is a beautiful balance of flavors: tart grapefruit is mellowed out by earthy rosemary, making it an ideal complement to your morning tea or coffee.

It's also super easy to make (even if you're not a baker) and the recipe serves as a good base for trying other citrus and herb combinations as well.

Out of grapefruit? Try orange. No rosemary? Substitute a bit of marjoram. Experiment freely and let me know which other flavors turn out well for you!
