Description
This Garlic Rosemary No-Knead Bread is a rustic, artisan-style loaf with a golden crust, fluffy interior, and irresistible aroma of roasted garlic and fresh rosemary. The best part? You don’t need to knead the dough—just mix, rest, and bake in a Dutch oven for bakery-quality results right at home.
Ingredients
3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
1 ½ cups (350 ml) warm water (room temperature)
2 tsp kosher salt (or sea salt)
½ tsp instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
1 head roasted garlic, cloves mashed (or 3–4 cloves fresh minced)
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tbsp dried rosemary)
Optional toppings: extra rosemary sprigs, coarse sea salt, olive oil drizzle
Instructions
-
Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, and yeast. Stir in water until dough forms. Add roasted garlic and rosemary, mixing until just combined. Dough will be sticky and shaggy.
-
First Rise: Cover bowl with plastic wrap or towel. Let dough rest at room temperature for 12–18 hours, until bubbly and doubled in size.
-
Shape Dough: Lightly flour surface, turn out dough, and gently shape into a ball. Place on parchment paper seam-side down.
-
Second Rise: Cover dough loosely. Let rise 30–60 minutes while preheating oven. Place Dutch oven (with lid) inside oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C).
-
Bake Covered: Using parchment, carefully transfer dough to hot Dutch oven. Cover with lid and bake for 30 minutes.
-
Bake Uncovered: Remove lid and bake another 10–15 minutes, until crust is deep golden brown.
Cool and Slice: Transfer loaf to wire rack. Let cool at least 1 hour before slicing to set crumb structure.
Notes
For extra flavor, brush crust with olive oil before final bake.
Swap up to 30% of flour with whole wheat for nuttier flavor.
Garlic can be roasted ahead of time and stored in fridge.
Store bread at room temp in paper bag for 2–3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
