Description
A delicious, crusty bread infused with the flavors of rosemary and garlic, made effortlessly without kneading.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 ¾ cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- Extra flour for dusting
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, yeast, rosemary, garlic, and black pepper. Add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours, until doubled in size and bubbly.
- Lightly flour a surface, turn out the dough, and gently shape it into a round loaf. Avoid over-handling.
- Place on floured parchment paper, cover, and let rest for 30-45 minutes while the oven preheats.
- Heat oven to 450°F (230°C), placing a Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the dough (on parchment paper) into the hot Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for 10-15 more minutes until golden brown.
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For a stronger garlic flavor, increase the amount of minced garlic.
- This bread can be served alongside soups or used for sandwiches.
- Make sure to let the dough rest for adequate time to achieve the best texture.
