Rosemary & Roasted Garlic Artisan Bread

Rosemary & Roasted Garlic Artisan Bread


  • Author: Alyssa
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

🧄 1 head garlic
🫒 Extra-virgin olive oil
🧂 Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
💧 1½ cups water (360 grams), room temperature
🍞 1 teaspoon (3 grams) active dry yeast
🫒 1 tablespoon (14 grams) extra-virgin olive oil
🌾 3 cups (390 grams) bread flour
🌿 ½ teaspoon (0.5 grams) dried oregano
🧂 ½ teaspoon (3 grams) sea salt
🧄 1 whole head roasted garlic (smashed)
🌿 2 teaspoons (3.4 grams) finely chopped rosemary (plus more to sprinkle across the top)


Instructions

1️⃣ Add the yeast to the water and let sit for 10-15 minutes until the yeast starts to foam. While the yeast is activating, stir together flour, salt, and oregano in a large mixing bowl. 🌊
2️⃣ Add yeast mixture and all remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix together just until combined. The dough should look a little sticky and stringy and there should still be a little flour around the edges of the bowl. 🥣
3️⃣ Cover and let rise somewhere warm until it has doubled in size. 🌡️
4️⃣ Preheat oven to 450ºF (232ºC) with a Dutch oven or covered baking dish inside. Prepare the dough as described. 🔥
5️⃣ Flour your hands and shaping surface. Fold the dough into itself several times until a soft, flour-covered ball is formed. Transfer dough to parchment paper and let sit until the oven is pre-heated. 🖐️
6️⃣ Score your loaf, then transfer the dough into the Dutch oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for 15-20 minutes more. 🍞
7️⃣ Lift bread from Dutch oven and transfer it to a wire cooling rack to cool for up to an hour before slicing. 🍽️

Notes

For a crusty, chewy loaf, use hard wheat unbleached bread flour.
Room temperature water is best for the yeast. Ensure it’s around 70°F/21°C.
