Description
This Rustic Garlic Rosemary Skillet Bread is an easy no-knead recipe made with fresh rosemary, roasted garlic, and baked to golden perfection in a cast iron skillet. A cozy homemade bread perfect for soups, pastas, or dipping in olive oil.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups warm water
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
5 garlic cloves, roasted or sautéed
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, stir together warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add flour, salt, rosemary, and cooked garlic to the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
3. Cover the bowl with a towel and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, until doubled in size.
4. Grease a cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Transfer the dough to the skillet and gently shape it. Let rise again for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with extra rosemary or sea salt if desired.
6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
7. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
Letting the dough rise overnight in the fridge develops deeper flavor.
Roasting garlic beforehand gives a sweeter, milder taste.
Leftovers are excellent toasted with eggs or used for sandwiches.
