Preparing Rustic No-Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread
Making this Rustic No-Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread is a simple yet satisfying process. Start by mixing your dry ingredients – flour, salt, and yeast – in a large bowl. Then, add in your water to form a wet dough. This may seem simple, but the key is in letting the dough rest, which develops remarkable flavors and textures. After a long, relaxing rise, you’ll preheat your oven and Dutch oven, bake the bread, and voilà! You’ll have golden, crusty bread ready to slice and serve.
What you’ll need
To create this delightful bread, gather the following ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Feel free to experiment with the types of flour. Whole wheat flour or even spelt can add a unique flavor profile if you like a heartier bread!
