Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 100°F)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary
  • 8–10 roasted garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft.
  2. In a small bowl, mix warm water with yeast and honey (or sugar). Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add chopped rosemary and roasted garlic cloves. Pour in the frothy yeast mixture.
  4. Mix until combined on a floured surface; knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Punch down risen dough on a floured surface, shape into a loaf or round shape. Let rise again on parchment-lined baking sheet for 30-45 minutes. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
