Easy Roasted Garlic Rosemary Artisan Bread is a crusty, chewy, and flavorful homemade loaf made with a no-knead, rustic recipe. The bread is infused with roasted garlic, fragrant rosemary, and a hint of oregano, creating a delightful aroma and taste.

Ingredients

For the Bread Dough:

  • 1 whole head garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • Coarse sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 1½ cups water (room temperature, ~70°F / 21°C)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3 cups bread or all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary (plus more for topping)
  • 1 head roasted garlic cloves (smashed)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Garlic – Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut the garlic head in half, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in foil for 40 minutes. Cool and remove cloves from skins.
  2. Mix the Dough – Dissolve yeast in room-temp water. Combine flour, salt, oregano, and rosemary. Add yeast water, roasted garlic, and oil. Mix until sticky.
  3. First Rise – Cover bowl with a towel and let rise at room temperature for 8–10 hours until doubled.
  4. Shape and Cold Ferment – Shape dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 1–24 hours.
  5. Preheat Oven & Score – Preheat oven with Dutch oven inside. Place dough on parchment paper, score the top.
  6. Bake – Bake in Dutch oven for 30 minutes covered, then 15–20 minutes uncovered until golden.
  7. Cool & Slice – Cool on wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
