A rustic, bakery-style artisan bread with a crisp golden crust and a soft, airy interior, infused with sweet roasted garlic and fragrant rosemary. Simple, comforting, and deeply flavorful with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 whole garlic head
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft and golden. Let cool and squeeze out the cloves.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, salt, and chopped rosemary.
  3. Add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Gently fold in the roasted garlic cloves until evenly distributed.
  5. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise at room temperature for 2–3 hours, until doubled and bubbly.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently shape into a round loaf without kneading.
  7. Let rest for 20 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven inside to heat.
  8. Carefully transfer dough to the hot Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the lid and bake for another 10–15 minutes until deeply golden.
  10. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use less dried rosemary if substituting for fresh.
  • Letting the dough rise overnight in the refrigerator enhances flavor.
  • Cool fully before slicing to avoid a gummy interior.
