This bread is incredibly easy to make and has the ability to be very versatile depending on what herbs you have. I could easily see using wild onion, perilla, ground ivy or horseweed as an herb.
No Knead Rosemary Garlic Peasant Bread
Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups flour
2 t sugar
1 1/2 t salt
1 t dried rosemary
1 t minced garlic (from jar)
1/2 t dried oregano
1 t yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients together in large bowl. Add garlic and water and mix. Dough should be sticky. Cover and let sit over night. Time is flexible.
The next day, add a lot of flour to your surface. Coat your hands with flour. Pour your dough onto the floured surface. Mold into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit.
Turn your oven on to 450 degrees. Add your covered pot. I use a cast iron dutch oven. Any sturdy baking pot with a lid will do. Let heat up for 30 minutes.
Carefully remove pot and put dough in the center. Return lid to pot and put into oven. Bake 30 minutes. Remove lid and continue baking 7 - 10 minutes until golden.
Great looking bread with a very interesting technique. Thanks!

I love this recipe! It sounds like Jim Lahey's. I always make mine plain, though. A good variation to mine that I might try. Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!

ReplyDeleteAll purpose works fine. That is what I used, from Aldi.
ReplyDeleteWhat size Dutch oven? Cojld you just turn it out onto a stoneware pizza stone?
ReplyDeleteDutch oven is really necessary!
DeleteI believe my dutch oven is 6 or 7 quarts, however, any oven proof pot with a lid will do.
ReplyDelete2/29/2016-WOW is all I can say. Got tired of the boring Oscars last night and decided to try this recipe that I was referred to by some other blog site. Used (seriously) yeast that expired in Aug of 2013, rosemary that didn't even smell of rosemary it was so old. The oregano and garlic were fairly fresh as we use a lot of them both. That was @ 10pm last night. Got up this morning, had my coffee, pre-heated my oven & dutch oven. Had fresh bread by 9:30 am. Helps me to regain my faith in myself after a few failed attempts years ago with the "bread making machine!" Thanks Dr. Mom!
