No Knead Rosemary Bread
Description
No Knead Rosemary Bread is made by mixing flour, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, pepper, and yeast with water to form a sticky dough that ferments for 18 to 24 hours at room temperature. This slow rise allows gluten to develop without kneading. After shaping the dough into a round, it rests again until doubled in size. Baking in a lightly oiled cast iron skillet with cornmeal ensures a golden crust. The bread has a tender interior infused with rosemary and garlic flavors, complemented by a crusty exterior.
The herb-infused loaf works well as a side to savory dishes or for sandwiches. Serving it warm highlights the aromas of rosemary and garlic.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon rosemary or more, to taste, finely chopped fresh
- 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 ½ cups water at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper and yeast.
- Using a wooden spoon or your hand, add water and mix until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 30 seconds.
- Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until surface is dotted with bubbles, about 18 to 24 hours.
- Lightly oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet or coat with nonstick spray; sprinkle with cornmeal.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, gently shape dough into a round.
- Place dough into the prepared skillet. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size and does not readily spring back when poked with a finger, about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes.
- Serve warm.
