Rustic No-Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tsp sugar or honey
2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp instant yeast
1 ½ cups warm water
Optional Topping
1 tbsp olive oil
Extra rosemary
Flaky sea salt
Instructions

1. Mix the Dough
   In a large bowl, combine:
   flour
   salt
   sugar
   rosemary
   garlic
   yeast
   Pour in warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
   Dough will look sticky — that’s normal.
2. First Rise
   Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a towel.
   Let rise at room temperature for 12–18 hours until bubbly and doubled in size.
3. Shape the Dough
   Lightly flour a surface.
   Turn dough out and gently fold it over a few times.
   Shape into a rough round loaf.
   Place on parchment paper and cover loosely.
   Let rest for 30–45 minutes.
4. Heat the Pot
   Place a Dutch oven (with lid) into the oven.
   Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) for at least 30 minutes.
5. Bake
   Carefully place dough (with parchment) into the hot Dutch oven.
   Brush with olive oil if desired.
   Sprinkle with extra rosemary and flaky salt.
   Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
   Remove lid and bake another 10–15 minutes until deep golden brown.
6. Cool
   Transfer bread to a wire rack.
   Let cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.
   Tips for Success
   Fresh rosemary gives the best flavor.
   Roasted garlic can be used for a sweeter, mellow taste.
   Do not add too much flour — sticky dough creates airy bread.
   A Dutch oven helps create a crisp artisan crust.
