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?

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!
