How to Prepare No Knead Garlic Bread
🧄 First make the garlic confit. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). 🫒 Peel garlic cloves, place them in a dish, and then cover with olive oil. 🔥 Bake for 30-40 minutes until light golden and soft. 🥣 Next, work on the dough. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and active dry yeast. 🌿 Remove garlic from the oil, and add to the bowl with the herbs. 💦 Add warm water and then mix until sticky. 🛏️ Cover and let rest for 3 hours or overnight, until tripled in size. 🌾 Flour the counter, and then shape the dough into an oval and place it in an oven-safe dish lined with parchment paper. 🧊 Place the pan in a cold oven, then turn the oven on to 450°F (230°C). ♨️ Bake covered for 30 mins, then uncovered for 25-30 mins until golden. ❄️ Let cool for 5-10 mins. 🧄 Mix garlic oil with balsamic vinegar for dipping. Store leftover bread wrapped on the counter, best served warm.
