Print Recipe

A simple no-knead artisan bread infused with fresh rosemary and garlic, delivering a crusty exterior and soft, airy crumb with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour, preferably unbleached
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) warm water (about 100°F / 38°C)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir until evenly distributed (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups warm water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir with a spatula or hand until a sticky, shaggy dough forms (about 3 minutes).
  3. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature (around 70°F / 21°C) for 12 to 18 hours until the dough doubles in size and bubbles appear on the surface.
  4. Generously flour a clean surface and your hands. Turn the dough out gently and fold the edges over to form a rough ball, taking care not to deflate the dough (about 5 minutes).
  5. Place the dough seam-side down on a piece of parchment paper. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 1 to 2 hours until puffy and passing the gentle poke test.
  6. About 30 minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven and lid inside.
  7. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Lift the parchment paper with the dough and place it inside the Dutch oven. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is deeply golden and crisp.
  9. Remove the bread from the Dutch oven using the parchment paper and place on a cooling rack. Cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

Do not over-flour the dough during shaping to keep the bread light and airy. Use fresh yeast for best rise. Preheat the Dutch oven to create steam for a perfect crust. If the bread browns too fast, tent with foil after removing the lid. The dough is intentionally sticky; use floured hands and surface when shaping. You can substitute dried rosemary (1 teaspoon) for fresh (2 tablespoons) and garlic powder (1 teaspoon) for fresh garlic if needed.
