Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wooden spoon
- Bread pan
- Kitchen towel
- Oven
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Mix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl until well combined.
- Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
- Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- On a surface dusted with flour, knead the dough for approximately 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and stretchy.
- Place the dough in a greased bread pan, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sprinkle the top of the risen dough with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and tapping the loaf produces a hollow sound.
- After baking, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- Proofing Perfection: Ensure your yeast is active for the best rise; the water should be warm but not too hot.
- Garlic Distribution: Mix the garlic thoroughly to avoid clumps and ensure every slice is infused with flavor.
- Oven Watch: Keep an eye on your bread in the last few minutes of baking as oven temperatures can vary.
- Herb Freshness: Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor, though dried can also work in a pinch.
- Slicing: Let the bread cool completely before slicing to preserve its structure and texture.
