Method
Roasted Garlic
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice off top of garlic bulb to reveal garlic cloves. Place bulb in sheet of foil. Drizzle olive oil on top of garlic bulb covering the garlic cloves. Crunch up foil over bulb to create a roof to cover. Bake for 40-50 minutes. Once garlic cloves have a light brown roasted tint to them, they are done.
Artisan Bread Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, yeast, roasted garlic, and water. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy looking dough forms. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let sit and rise at room temperature for 10 hours or overnight. Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 450. Prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper or a non stick silicone base. Sprinkle flour on top of silicone base or parchment paper. Dump the dough out on top of floured baking base, and form into a round shape. Bake for 40 minutes.
Notes
To store left over loaves, I usually just wrap tightly with Saran wrap. Mine have kept fresh for a few days. But I suggest enjoying the bread within a day or two of baking. Another great way to liven up the bread if it's been a few days is to preheat your oven to 350 for a few minutes to give it that nice crunch and warmness to it.
