Apparently homemade bread can be really easy to make and flavorful - like this one! My favorite thing about it is that you basically can’t screw it up, which is nice.
Servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoon instant/rapid rise yeast usually one packet
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 2 bulbs garlic
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preparing the garlic
- Pre-heat oven to 250 ºF
- Peel 2 bulbs of garlic and place in small oven-safe container
- Pour olive oil into container until garlic is completely covered
- Cook for 90 - 100 minutes; garlic should be super smooshy and golden brown
- Put the garlic in a small bowl (I would recommend pulling them out with a fork so you don’t carryover any of the olive oil because it could create issues baking)
- Smash the garlic really well until it’s like a paste
Bread Making
- In a large bowl, combine bread flour, salt, and yeast - stir well
- Add in 1 3/4 - 2 cups of very warm water (pretty much as warm as you can get it from your sink; too hot will make the yeast sad)
- Combine your bread mixture (you almost need to use the handle side of a spatula because it’s hard to stir). It should be super sticky and kind of wet
- Add in garlic, nutritional yeast and basil - mix until very well combined
- Cover bowl and allow the dough to rise over the next 3 hours. Check after an hour and make sure it’s rising. At the end, it should be quite a bit larger than when you started
Baking
- Pre-heat oven to 450 ºF
- Put dutch oven in pre-heated oven and keep in the oven for 30 minutes
- On a piece of parchment paper, sprinkle some flour over the parchment paper, and plop the dough on it. Sprinkle some more flour on top of the dough. Fold dough in a couple of times (use a scraper or something metal and flat) until it’s no longer that sticky and it’s kind of a ball shape
- Put dough (in parchment paper) in the heated dutch oven
- With lid on, cook for 30 minutes
- Take lid off, and cook for an additional 10 - 15 minutes until crispy
- Allow to cool and enjoy
