Rosemary Roasted Garlic Bread Recipe
Kate Donahue | Food BabblesRosemary Bread with roasted garlic - perfectly savory with a hint of sweet from this lovely herb. You'll love it for sandwiches or...
Oh my goodness, can we just talk about roasted garlic for a little while? Now, I'm a huge fan of garlic, period. Give me pasta with tons of garlic and fresh tomatoes, pizza with slices of fresh garlic scattered over the cheesy top or 40-clove chicken, I am all about it!
But there's something about roasted garlic that just elevates that love to a whole new level.
That lovely garlic when roasted becomes wonderfully sweet yet still savory and fragrant. My favorite way to enjoy it is spread over a crusty slice of bread, so clearly, roasted garlic in bread is a great idea.
It's like saving a step so I can savor it sooner.
Garlic and herbs are natural partners. I adore garlic with tomatoes and basil, so I paired them together in a pane bianco italian bread recipe recently for a bread that was sweet with roasted garlic, fragrant, and beyond flavorful.
Using roasted garlic in that bread inspired me to give roasted garlic a starring role in another bread recipe.
Here garlic is roasted with thyme, then baked into a tender loaf of bread filled with flecks of fragrant rosemary and a touch of parmesan.
Truth be told, that thyme roasted garlic is off the hook! Slather that on a piece of bread and I could eat it like a meal. When added to this bread it adds something special and wonderfully flavorful.
This Rosemary Roasted Garlic Bread is addictive all by itself but a simple pat of butter over a warm slice is pure heaven.

Ingredients
- 5 heads Garlic
- Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Dried Thyme, fresh
- 5 teaspoons Kosher Salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Instant Yeast
- 3 cups Water
- 5 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Yellow Whole Grain Corn Meal
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Have ready a long sheet of aluminum foil big enough to envelope 5 heads of garlic. Leaving the garlic heads intact, peel away the loose outer skin and cut off about 1/4" of the top of the heads, exposing the tops of all the garlic cloves.
- Place the heads on the aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper over the top of the garlic heads. Make a packet from the aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until soft. Remove from oven to cool. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves from the heads into a small bowl and set aside.
- Place yeast in a large bowl and add water. Stir to combine, then add flour, roasted thyme garlic cloves, salt, rosemary and parmesan cheese. Stir together until everything is moistened and comes together using a wooden spoon or your hands, as necessary.
- Cover with plastic wrap and set at warm room temperature to rise for 3 hours. After 3 hours, transfer dough to the refrigerator overnight.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and set on the counter. Place a metal baking pan on the bottom baking rack of the oven and fill with water. Turn oven on and set it to 450°F. Butter a baking sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal. Set aside.
- Remove dough from the bowl and transfer to a floured work surface. Sprinkle the top with flour and using floured hands, split the dough into two halves and shape into rounds.
- Sprinkle loaves again with flour and then allow them to rest 45 minutes at warm room temperature.
- Using a very sharp knife, cut an "X" in the top of each loaf then bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
