A1: Yes, but the flavour may differ slightly. If using dried rosemary, use just 1 tablespoon as dried herbs are stronger.

A2: Yes, you can. However, sea salt offers a distinct taste and texture that regular salt can’t match.
Q3: Can I freeze this bread?
A3: Yes, this bread freezes very well. Ensure it’s fully cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and put inside a freezer bag. When ready to eat, thaw at room temperature.
