Description
A delightful aromatic bread with garlic and rosemary, perfect for soups or enjoyed on its own.
Ingredients
- 3 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar
- 2 tsps salt
- 2 1/2 tsp quick yeast (1 package)
- 1 1/3 cups warm water
- 2 large rosemary sprigs, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, diced
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir together. The dough will be sticky and shaggy.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise for 60 minutes in a warm place.
- Lay out a piece of parchment paper, dust it with flour, and transfer the dough. Shape it into a ball by folding the edges over.
- Flip the smooth side up, cover with a towel, and let rise for 20 more minutes while the Dutch oven heats.
- Place the Dutch oven (without the lid) in the oven and preheat to 450°F.
- When ready, remove the hot Dutch oven with mitts, transfer the dough on the parchment into it, and score the top with a knife.
- Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes until the loaf is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure the water is warm, but not too hot, to activate the yeast. You can let the dough rise overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor. Experiment with herbs and spices.
