Rosemary & Roasted Garlic Bread

A rustic bread that is easy to prepare and requires no kneading.

📝 Ingredients

• Roasted Garlic
• 1 bulb garlic
• 1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
• Bread
• 450 g flour
• 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
• 10 g active dry yeast
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1 1/2 C (375 ml) warm water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
2. 2Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil and wrap in tinfoil.
3. 3Roast for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
4. 4Remove from the oven and squeeze the garlic out of the bulb into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until it is smooth and creamy.
5. 5In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, yeast, and 1 sprig of finely chopped rosemary. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the roasted garlic and water until the mixture comes together. The dough will be a bit shaggy (ragged edges and messy looking).
6. 6Cover the dough and let it rise for 8-10 hours. Flour a work surface, scoop the dough out onto the surface and shape into a round disk.
7. 7Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
8. 8Place the dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
9. 9Brush with a little olive oil and then tear the remaining rosemary sprigs and sprinkle them over the top of the bread.
10. 10Bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes until golden brown.
