An amazing Recipe for Bread Beginners
Ingredients
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon instant dry active yeast
1 1/2 cups room temperature water
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, yeast and rosemary
Add the garlic and room temperature water and stir to combine. It will come together and look like stringy, shaggy dough. This is good!
Cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let sit on counter at room temperature for 12-18 hours (I just did this the night before and baked the next day)
Heat up your dutch oven in the oven at 450 degrees (we want the baking vessel really hot)- I use my 4 quart Le Crueset for this
While your dutch oven is heating, on a clean, floured surface with floured hands, form the dough into a round disc shape (make sure to flour hands, as the dough is very sticky)
Place a piece of parchment paper in the dutch oven letting a little bit of paper to hang out so you can lift out the bread after it is done baking
Place the dough in your hot dutch oven on top of the parchment paper
Cover and bake for 30 minutes
Remove lid and brush a little olive oil on top of the dough. This will help to create a golden brown crust
Uncover and bake another 10-15 minutes, until top is golden brown
Remove bread from dutch oven and let cool before slicing
