Roasted Garlic Rosemary Bread

Ingredients:

• 3 heads garlic
• Olive oil for drizzling
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 Tablespoons chopped (fresh rosemary)
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 package)
• 1 1/2 cups warm water

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Remove most of the peel from the heads of garlic except for one layer to keep the garlic in tact.
3. Cut off the top of each head of garlic (about 1/4 inch).
4. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil.
5. Roast the garlic at 400 degrees F. for 45 - 60 minutes. The garlic should be soft and roasted through after 45 minutes, but it will turn that gorgeous golden colour if you leave it for another 10 - 15 minutes.
6. Let the garlic cool for a few minutes and then remove the cloves from the peel by squeezing from the bottom.
7. Combine the flour, salt, rosemary, yeast, water and roasted garlic cloves in a large bowl.
8. Mix until a dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise for 12 hours or overnight.
9. Your dough will look very sticky after rising. Move onto a floured piece of parchment paper and let sit while you heat up the oven.
10. Put your cast iron pot with a lid into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
11. Remove the pot from the oven and add your bread dough once the oven is heated up. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
12. Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes.
13. Let cool before slicing. Serve as is, add avocado for toast or dip in soup!
