The “No Knead Rosemary Bread” recipe is a foolproof, basic homemade bread that anyone can make, promising perfect results. This recipe, shared by Chungah at Damn Delicious, emphasizes the ease and simplicity of making bread at home, even for those with no prior experience. The process involves minimal prep work, approximately 15 minutes, followed by a long, slow rise over 24 hours where the yeast does most of the work, eliminating the need for kneading. The result is a beautifully golden, aromatic rosemary bread that’s perfect for serving with butter or for dipping into tomato basil soup. The ingredients include all-purpose flour, garlic, fresh rosemary, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, instant yeast, water, and cornmeal for dusting. The method is straightforward, requiring the dough to be mixed until wet and sticky, then left to rise at room temperature until bubbly. After shaping and a second rise, the bread is baked in a hot oven until golden brown. This recipe not only delivers delicious bread but also demystifies the bread-making process, making it accessible to everyone.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary, or more, to taste
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon instant yeast
1 ½ cups water, at room temperature
2 tablespoons cornmeal
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper and yeast.
Using a wooden spoon or your hand, add water and mix until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 30 seconds.
Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until surface is dotted with bubbles, about 18 to 24 hours.
Lightly oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet or coat with nonstick spray; sprinkle with cornmeal.
Working on a lightly floured surface, gently shape dough into a round.
Place dough into the prepared skillet. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size and does not readily spring back when poked with a finger, about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes.
