🧺 Ingredients (Simple & Honest)
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 1 packet dry yeast (about 2¼ tsp)
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 350 ml warm water (not hot!)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
💡 Optional boost: rosemary, thyme, or oregano for extra flavor
👩🍳 Step-by-Step: Bread Made Easy
Step 1️⃣: Mix the Basics
In a large bowl:
- Add the flour
- Sprinkle in the dry yeast
- Add the salt
- Toss in the chopped garlic
Give everything a quick stir with a spoon.
👉 No need to separate ingredients — this bread is very forgiving.
Step 2️⃣: Add the Magic
- Pour in the warm water
- Add the olive oil
Mix with a spoon until everything comes together into a sticky, shaggy dough.
🚫 Don’t knead
🚫 Don’t overmix
✔ Just mix until combined
This stickiness is exactly what creates that beautiful airy crumb later.
Step 3️⃣: Let Time Do the Work
- Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap
- Place it in a warm, draft-free spot
- Let it rise until doubled in size
⏳ This usually takes 1–1½ hours
✨ During this time, the yeast works slowly, developing flavor and structure — no effort from you!
Step 4️⃣: Shape It Gently
Once risen:
- Lightly flour your hands
- Gently shape the dough into a round loaf
⚠️ Do not punch it down aggressively — treat it softly.
Place it on a lined baking tray or parchment paper.
Step 5️⃣: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C)
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until:
- The crust is deep golden
- The loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath
🔥 Your kitchen will smell unbelievable.
Step 6️⃣: The Best Part — Slice & Enjoy
- Let the bread cool slightly (if you can wait 😄)
- Slice into that soft, steamy interior
- Enjoy the garlicky, fluffy perfection
This is the moment people fall in love ❤️
