Ready to start making your own bread? Then this No Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread is the perfect, easy, no kneading required bread to start with!
Is there anything more comforting than the smell of fresh baked bread? How about some No Knead Rosemary Garlic fresh baked bread that required not a single bit of dough kneading? Nope. There isn’t.
I love me some homemade bread. We make a lot of it in this house. This No Knead recipe was our gateway bread. It’s so easy that I had no problem whipping up a loaf with a newborn at home. Just mix all the ingredients together in one bowl, and then leave it alone overnight to let it rise. 
Then in the morning I put the dough in a loaf pan and let it rise for another couple of hours. 
Baked for 45 minutes and mmmm fresh bread. So easy!
My favorite thing about this bread is how wonderfully crispy the crust is while the center is perfectly soft a chewy. Then of course the rosemary and garlic flavors? Amazing. I may not be sure of the last time I washed my hair, and I may be walking around in a sleep deprived haze, but despite all of adjustments into a life with a newborn at home, there will be fresh baked bread in this house. Gotta teach our little one about priorities young, right?
Enjoy!! Be sure to let me know if you’ve made the recipe on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!

- 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Do you mince the garlic or just put the cloves in?
Hi Carrie- thanks for visiting! I just toss the whole cloves in ☺️
I am making this and it is not enough water to make the flour stick together, are you sure there is no oil needed? Is it supposed to be very crumbly after stirring?
Oh! Thank you chels I had a typo! It’s 1.5 cups of water!
Are you sure this baking temp is correct? 450 degrees? Bread usually bakes at 350.
Thanks for visiting! Yup, this bread bakes at a nice and hot 450 degrees.
Do you grease your pan before flouring it?
Nope, not necessary!
Hi, is this bread suitable for freezing? I like to slice the whole bread and freeze it, then take out what I need. Thanks
It is! What a great idea!
Hi. I was wondering if it would be ok if it rest for about 6 hours on the initial rest and then another 2 hours? I want to make this bread today but have to still get yeast. Thanks
Hi Paul, you could try, if it’s really warm it may work but it usually needs that full time to proof. If it’s doubled in size after 6 hrs you should be good to go!
Can you used chopped garlic?
Totally!
What size is the loaf tin you used for this recipe?
Can white whole wheat flour be used for this recipe. I am trying not to use plain white flour anymore .
Yes, definitely! Whole wheat flour is denser than white so I’d use less flour, like 2 1/4 – 2 1/2 cups instead of 3. Let me know how it turns out!
how can you make any bread without flour?
Wow, thank you, Oscar! I changed what I used to post the recipe and left that out! Eek, how embarrassing. It’s up there now!
I am a bread fanatic. I need to make a loaf (or 2) of this soon. I can just imagine the aroma as it bakes. It would hardly get a chance to cool before I was slicing it and slathering on the butter!!
No knead breads are the best and when you’re bleary eyed from lack of sleep — they’re really the only homemade bread option! Rosemary and garlic is a wonderfully savory combination, too. If I didn’t have skinny jeans to worry about, I’d probably be making this bread 2-3 times a week. Definitely trying your recipe, though — and I’m thinking this would be really good for Thanksgiving, too. I appreciate the recipe.
I’ve only tried making bread a couple times, and it intimidated me. I love how easy this looks– and I’m sure it makes the whole house smell amazing! This needs to be on my “learning to bake” list!!
Omgosh, I love the sound of a no-knead bread, esp with rosemary in it! And I’m thinking…why have I not been making this my whole life?! During college I was a bread baker at a health food store and have never tried this method. Can’t wait! Just pinned! 🙂
I love garlic and I love not kneading! This is the recipe for me! That crust looks absolutely delicious – I need to get one of these in the oven ASAP!
What? Making delicious bread from scratch is that easy? Who knew? Sounds so simple and looks so decadent and delicious. I can imagine how yummy the house will smell with that rosemary baking with the garlic. Bookmarking for this weekend. Definitely must make.
I love rosemary. It grows like weeds in Texas. Whenever I need some, I would just walk to the end of my driveway and grab some. Here in Utah it’s an annual. I do miss my rosemary and your bread brings back some really good recipes. I love the idea of no-knead. Definitely going to make this. Thank you!
No-knead bread is where it’s AT. This is the only bread I’ve ever made. It’s hard to stray from something so easy. However, I’ve yet to jazz it up and garlic + rosemary sounds ah-mazing. Especially this time of year. Something about rosemary just reminds me of the darker, cooler months. I’m so looking forward to giving this a go. I can’t even imagine the smell wafting through the kitchen… ugh <3 BLISS.
We love homemade bread and when I tell our kids we are baking they anxiously await the goodies. We make all kinds of breads and when we are short on time we fall back on the no knead bread. Your use of rosemary and garlic sure gives it additional flavor. Will put this on my baking list.
What a gorgeous crumb on this bread! The texture looks absolutely perfect, and I love that it’s no knead, made overnight! I agree that the aroma of fresh bread baking is one of the most comforting there is. It’s definitely one that gets even the latest sleepers out of bed in the morning! This would be so great to bake up when you have overnight guests!
Oh wow, this is amazing, love that it is no knead! And that rosemary adds such a great flavor, this recipe will be on repeat for a while around here!
No sugar or honey in the recipe?
Nope!
I’m really wanting to make this, but would I be able to do make this using a bread machine? Also, could I substitute 1:1 flour with Gluten Free flour?
I followed the recipe to the letter but it didn’t rise. Is 1/4 tsp yeast enough? I just bought the yeast so it’s fresh.
Hi Barb, I’m so sorry to hear that! Are you using instant yeast?
I can leave this overnight but have to go to work at 5 a.m. would it be ok to sit until about 3 the next day before cooking?
Hi Linda! Overnight isn’t necessary, it’s mostly about the time. You want to let it rest at least 12. So if you leave at 5 am, by 5 pm you’ll be ready to start the next step!
The recipe should clearly state type of yeast. For those of us who “jump to recipe”, the pic of rapid rise yeast is not seen.
Oh thank you SO much, Sharon. Changing that now!
