Rustic No Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread

 

Ingredients

1. 3 cups all-purpose flour
2. 3 cloves garlic, minced
3. 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary, or more, to taste
4. 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
5. ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6. ½ teaspoon instant yeast
7. 1 ½ cups water, at room temperature
8. 2 tablespoons cornmeal

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, and yeast.
2. Using a wooden spoon or your hand, add water and mix until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 30 seconds.
3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until the surface is dotted with bubbles, about 18 to 24 hours.
4. Lightly oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet or coat with nonstick spray; sprinkle with cornmeal.
5. Working on a lightly floured surface, gently shape the dough into a round.
6. Place the dough into the prepared skillet.
7. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let stand at room temperature until the dough has doubled in size and does not readily spring back when poked with a finger, about 2 hours.
8. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes

1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Punch down dough and shape into a round or oblong loaf.
3.  Place loaf in air fryer basket, lined with parchment paper.
4. Drizzle olive oil over loaf and sprinkle with garlic, rosemary, and Parmesan cheese (if using).
5.  Cook for 15-20 minutes or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
6.  Let cool on wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Air Fryer Tips:

– Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
– Rotate loaf halfway through cooking.
– Adjust cooking time based on air fryer model.

Enjoy !
