Description

This Rustic No Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread combines aromatic rosemary and garlic in a beautifully crusty, artisan-style loaf. No kneading is required—just mix, let it rise, and bake for a deliciously easy homemade bread.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups room-temperature water
  • 2 tbsp cornmeal (for dusting the pan)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, and yeast. Stir briefly to blend.
    • Add the water and stir until a wet, sticky dough forms. This should take about 30 seconds; the dough will look shaggy, which is perfect.
  • First Rise:
    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough sit at room temperature for 18-24 hours. The dough should rise and develop bubbles on its surface.
  • Prepare for Baking:
    • When the dough is ready, lightly oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or Dutch oven) and sprinkle with cornmeal.
    • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, handling it gently to keep its airy texture. Shape it into a round loaf.
  • Second Rise:
    • Place the shaped dough into the prepared skillet or Dutch oven. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let it rise again at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat and Bake:
    • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Once preheated, place the skillet with the dough into the oven.
    • Bake for 30-40 minutes until the bread is golden brown. The bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, olive oil, or as a side with soups and salads.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • Variations: For a cheesy twist, add ½ cup of shredded cheese to the dough.
  • Alternative Herbs: Try thyme or sage in addition to rosemary for a different flavor profile.
