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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
