Parmesan Garlic Artisan Bread is a crusty, no-knead loaf filled with roasted garlic and nutty parmesan cheese. With a golden exterior and soft, chewy crumb, it’s a flavorful, bakery-style bread that’s simple to make at home.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose or bread flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 bulb roasted garlic, cloves removed and mashed
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for brushing)
  • 1 tbsp extra parmesan and garlic powder (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and instant yeast.
  2. Add warm water and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Fold in roasted garlic and parmesan until evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise at room temperature for 8–12 hours (or overnight).
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Shape into a round or oval loaf and let rest for 30 minutes while the oven preheats.
  6. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Carefully place dough into the hot Dutch oven, score the top, and cover with the lid.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes covered, then uncover and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Use asiago or cheddar instead of parmesan for variation.
  • Add crushed red pepper for a spicy version.
  • Use black garlic for a deep umami flavor.
  • Top with everything bagel seasoning before baking for a twist.
