Make a flavorful, crusty artisan loaf using the simple no-knead method in your Dutch oven. This recipe infuses the dough with fresh garlic and savory herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Instant Dry Yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups Cool Water
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced finely
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the dry ingredients. Mix briefly.
  3. Pour in the cool water and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy, sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. The dough will become bubbly and increase in volume.
  5. About 30 minutes before baking, place your empty Dutch oven (with the lid on) into your oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius).
  6. Once preheated, carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven.
  7. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper. Gently scrape the dough onto the paper. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top of the dough.
  8. Using the parchment paper as a sling, carefully lower the dough into the hot Dutch oven. Cover with the lid.
  9. Bake covered for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the lid and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown.
  11. Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For a stronger garlic flavor, you can lightly sauté the minced garlic in 1 teaspoon of olive oil for 1 minute before adding it to the dry ingredients.
  • If your dough sticks to the bottom, ensure you use enough parchment paper and that the Dutch oven was fully preheated.
  • This bread pairs well served warm with butter or dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
