Slop up your soup with this crusty and stretch Herby Garlic Bread. Made with very little kneading and a quality cast iron dutch oven.
3 cups flour (plus more for kneading
1 1/2 cups room temperature water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
zest of one large lemon
1/3 cup garlic cloves, about a whole head
Mix flour, water, salt and yeast together until it forms a messy dough. Cover and let rise for 8-12 hours.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and place a 4.5 quart dutch oven in the oven on the middle rack.
Add the fresh herbs, lemon zest and garlic to the dough. With floured hands, fold in the new ingredients. Add flour as needed. The dough should be loose but not sticky. Place on a large piece of parchment.
Take out the heated dutch oven and place the dough in with the parchment still underneath.
Bake with the lid on for 30 minutes, take the lid off and bake for another 15 minutes.
