Description
A simple and flavorful artisan bread infused with roasted garlic and fresh rosemary, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole head garlic
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
- Coarse sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1½ cups water (room temperature, ~70°F / 21°C)
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 3 cups bread or all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary (plus more for topping)
- 1 head roasted garlic cloves (smashed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Slice the head of garlic in half, drizzle with half a tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and roast for about 40 minutes, or until softened. Let cool and squeeze the cloves from their skins.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast into the room-temperature water and set aside for 10–15 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour, sea salt, oregano, and chopped rosemary. Stir in the yeast mixture, smashed roasted garlic, and the remaining olive oil until the dough is sticky.
- Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise at room temperature for 8–10 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Gently turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball. Place it seam-side up in a floured bowl or basket, cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 48 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with the Dutch oven inside. Remove the dough from the fridge, invert onto parchment paper, and score the top.
- Lift the dough into the Dutch oven using parchment paper. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing.
Notes
Experiment with additional herbs or spices like thyme or sage for different flavors. Store bread wrapped in foil or a bread bag for about 3 days.
