Description
This No-Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread is a rustic, artisan-style loaf with a golden, crackly crust and a soft, aromatic interior. Infused with roasted garlic and fresh rosemary, it’s a beginner-friendly, no-fuss bread that’s as flavorful as it is beautiful.
Ingredients
3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon instant yeast
1½ cups warm water (about 110°F / 45°C)
1 whole bulb garlic, roasted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (plus more for topping)
Optional: Cornmeal or flour for dusting
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
¼ cup dried culinary lavender
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and roast for 30–35 minutes. Let it cool, then squeeze out the soft cloves.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast. Add the warm water, roasted garlic (squeezed out), and chopped rosemary. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 12–18 hours, until doubled in size and bubbly.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently shape it into a round loaf (don’t knead). Place the dough on parchment paper, cover loosely with a towel, and let it rest for 30–45 minutes.
- Place your Dutch oven with the lid into the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C) for at least 30 minutes.
- Carefully lower the dough (with parchment) into the hot Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown.
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Swap the rosemary for thyme, sage, or a combination of your favorite herbs for variation.
For a more intense garlic flavor, you can add more roasted garlic to the dough.
Try using half whole wheat flour for a heartier loaf.
Add olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or cheese to the dough for a twist on the classic recipe.
