Rosemary & Roasted Garlic Artisan Bread
A fragrant and flavorful artisan bread infused with the aromatic essence of rosemary and the deep richness of roasted garlic, perfect for accompanying hearty meals or as a standalone treat.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves roasted garlic minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, olive oil, roasted garlic, rosemary, and salt to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down dough, shape into a round or oblong loaf, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
- Let bread cool on a wire rack for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a crisper crust, bake the bread directly on a preheated stone or baking steel. Letting the bread cool completely before slicing will yield a better texture.
