Rustic No Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread

Rustic No-Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread

This is the holy grail of bread baking – a crusty, artisanal loaf with an open crumb and incredible flavor that requires almost no hands-on effort. The long, slow fermentation does all the work for you.

Why This Method Works

The magic lies in a very wet dough and a long, cold fermentation. This develops incredible flavor and creates those beautiful, irregular holes characteristic of rustic bread, all without any kneading.

Ingredients

3 cups (360g) bread flour (all-purpose works, but bread flour gives a better chew)
· 1½ cups (350ml) warm water (about 100°F/38°C)
· 1¼ tsp (7g) salt
· ½ tsp (2g) instant or active dry yeast
· 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
· 3-4 garlic cloves, minced

Equipment

· Large mixing bowl
· Plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel
· A Dutch oven with a lid (essential for the perfect crust)
· Parchment paper
