Our herb artisan bread is an easy no knead bread with delicious flavors of Parmesan, garlic and rosemary. What's better than the aroma of fresh baked bread wafting through your house? The singular answer is eating that homemade bread warm from the oven! This is the stuff dreams are made of.
5 minute artisan bread!
The only thing as remarkable as how good this bread is, is how easy it is to make. We are not kidding. It takes about five minutes to prep this delicious loaf. This crusty round of no-knead bread has a soft, chewy interior flavored with tasty herbs and cheese.
How to make bread with only 4 ingredients!
Four simple ingredients are all you need for the bread recipe. We've added Parmesan cheese, garlic and rosemary. You could easily add a variety of different herbs to explore yummy flavor combinations. What are you waiting for? Flour, salt, yeast and water are tossed together in a mixing bowl. Add your desired herbs and/or cheese along with the flour. You simply mix the ingredients gently to form a rough dough ball.
The waiting game...
The next step requires no work on your part. You put the dough in a clean un-greased mixing bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature about 18-24 hours. Your waiting until the dough has doubled in size and the surface is covered with tiny bubbles. But you don't have to do a thing!
Heat the pot
This recipe works easiest with a Dutch oven. You place the dutch oven (and its lid) in the oven at 450 degrees and allow it to heat for 30 minutes. This step is key to successful bread.
How do you form the dough for dutch oven bread?
Next remove dough from the bowl and place on a well-floured surface. You want to create a smooth dough ball by pulling corners of the dough underneath until the surface is smooth. Then place dough on a square of parchment paper big enough to cover the bottom of the Dutch oven.
Mark the dough!
Dust dough with flour, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest 10-15 minutes. Next, score the top of the loaf with an X. Then, lightly dampen your hands and carefully pat the top of the dough ball. (This will help your bread brown.)
Into the oven!
Carefully remove Dutch oven from the oven. Remove lid, then lift corners of parchment paper and lower dough into the hot pan. Replace lid and return to the oven. Bake 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake additional 10 minutes or until the top is browned.
How long should you let artisan bread cool?
When your the pan from the oven and bread from the pan, place the bread on a cooling rack and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Slicing sooner than this will cause your bread to smash together.
We love this bread with soup for dinner, or as a side for almost any meal! You can't go wrong. You're gonna love it. Everyone you share it with is gonna love it!
Enjoy!
