Description
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp active dry yeast
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
¼ tsp honey (optional, to activate yeast)
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, yeast, rosemary, and garlic.
Pour in the warm water and olive oil, stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. If using honey, add it to the warm water to activate the yeast
before mixing.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with a lid in the oven to heat up.
Once the dough has risen, gently shape it into a ball and place it onto a floured surface. Let it rest for 10 minutes while the oven heats.
Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven, place the dough inside, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the bread is golden brown.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, and let cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy your rustic rosemary garlic bread!
