Rustic No-Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread

Crispy • Fragrant • Artisan-Style • Effortless

If you’ve ever wanted bakery-quality bread without kneading, fussing, or expensive equipment, this is the recipe that will make you fall in love with homemade bread.

This Rustic No-Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread is deeply aromatic, beautifully golden, and impossibly soft on the inside — with the perfect crackly crust. The roasted garlic and fresh rosemary make every slice taste warm, cozy, and irresistible.

It’s so easy, you’ll wonder why you ever bought bread at the store.


A Short History

No-knead bread became famous in 2006 when artisan bakers proved you could create bakery-style crust and texture using just time and hydration instead of kneading.
But flavored breads like rosemary garlic go back centuries — Mediterranean cooks used herbs and wild garlic to enrich rustic loaves long before modern bakeries existed.

This recipe blends old-world tradition with modern simplicity.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or roasted for milder flavor)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1½ cups warm water (room temp, not hot)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Extra rosemary sprigs on top
  • Garlic butter for brushing
  • Sea salt flakes

Instructions

1. Mix the Dough (No Kneading!)

In a large bowl, combine:
Flour, salt, yeast, rosemary, and garlic.
Pour in warm water and mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Cover with plastic wrap or a towel.

2. Rest the Dough

Let sit 12–18 hours at room temperature.
The dough will double in size and form bubbles — that’s the magic!

3. Shape the Dough

Flour your countertop.
Gently lift the dough out and fold it over itself once or twice.
(No kneading — just shaping!)
Form into a round ball.

4. Second Rise

Place dough on parchment paper, cover, and let rise 30–45 minutes.

5. Preheat the Dutch Oven

Place a Dutch oven in your oven.
Preheat to 450°F (232°C) for at least 30 minutes.

6. Bake

Carefully place the parchment + dough into the hot Dutch oven.
Cover and bake 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake 10–15 minutes more until golden and crisp.

7. Cool & Serve

Let rest at least 20 minutes before slicing.
The aroma will tempt you — but waiting keeps the texture perfect.


Alternate Methods

Method 1 — Cast Iron Skillet

Bake 35–40 minutes at 450°F.
Add a small pan of water in the oven for steam.

Method 2 — Air Fryer Mini Loaf

Divide dough into 2 small rounds.
Air fry at 375°F for 16–20 minutes.

Method 3 — Garlic-Lover’s Version

Add 6 cloves roasted garlic
and brush loaf with garlic butter after baking.


Formation / How This Bread Works

  • High hydration makes a moist crumb.
  • Long fermentation replaces kneading by developing gluten naturally.
  • Dutch oven captures steam, creating the iconic crispy crust.
  • Rosemary + garlic infuse deep aroma and warm flavor.

The chemistry of rest + heat = artisan perfection.
