Rosemary Sea Salt Dutch Oven Bread (PLUS a Le Creuset GIVEAWAY!)
Save RecipeSave Recipe
Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 11/2 cups room temperature water
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl mix flour, sea salt, rosemary and yeast together. Mix in the water and use a spatula to blend until well combined.
  2. Cover the bowl and allow to sit on the counter overnight, at least 12 hours. (patience is a virtue!)
  3. Preheat oven to 450 F degrees. While oven is heating, place your Dutch Oven in the oven to allow it to preheat as well.
  4. Remove pot from oven and remove the lid from it.
  5. Flour your work surface as well as hands. Remove your dough from the bowl and form into a ball. This is a no knead recipe, but you may have to fold it a couple times to get it to form the shape you want. Place the dough into the bottom of your Dutch Oven (be careful not to burn your hands, the cast iron will be HOT!)
  6. Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, then remove the lid and bake another 15-20 minutes until the bread is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Cut and serve! Perfect compliment for soups!

  4. This looks delicious! I love an easy no knead bread!!! Thanks for sharing! I've never done one with rosemary like this - do you think you could substitute dried? I have that in my pantry right now but no fresh. Maybe I'll have to test it out both ways sometime.Thanks~ ~Jill

  110. I would love to win one of these! We moved out of our parents & into our own place together 6 months ago and I've been slowly learning to cook yummy stuff for my fiance. :) I have actually been dying to get a good dutch oven to make stuff like this bread, stews, a whole roast chicken, etc.

  124. We got rid of our dutch oven when we moved, so I would love to replace it with a new one. We always used it for baking bread. This rosemary sea salt bread sounds amazing and I would love to try it. I was always trying to get my husband to put rosemary in our bread, so with a good recipe, maybe I can finally talk him into it!

  130. I'd probably start off making a roast chicken and then some French onion soup. Possibilities are endless. I can't believe in 40 years of cooking, I don't have one of these.

    • Also, this may sound silly but when should the rosemary be put in? I read the recipe three times to make sure I didn't miss it. Thanks!
      Reply

  170. I would so make your bread first so that we could eat it alongside beef and barley soup, loaded with carrots and pearl onions simmered all day in Guinness. Would bring that gorgeous LE Creuset directly to the table to serve. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

  176. well definitely the bread looks delicious so I'd try that out, but also I am thinking I'd make some pollo con arroz (chicken and rice) in my Dutch oven.

  201. I love sitting down and reading your blog! So glad I found it :) Can't go wrong with Le Creuset!
    Reply

  205. Hi! I just found this recipe on Pinterest and am going to try it tonight. I've read over and over the recipe and I don't see anywhere where it actually says to add the rosemary so I'm assuming I just mix it together with the dry ingredients! I can't wait to bake and eat it tomorrow! :)
    Reply

  207. My absolute favorite bread is rosemary sea salt bread! Quick question though (I'm new to bread making) - your instructions don't mention the rosemary. Do you add it at the beginning when you are mixing all of the ingredients together or the next day after the loaf has risen? Small thing really but I wasn't sure if it made a difference :)Can't wait to try this! I don't have a Le Creuset pot but I may try it in the crock pot!xo Rachel

  208. I had a plain black cast iron Dutch oven but I hated all the work to maintain it so I gave it to my son-in-law and bought an enamel lined one for easier clean-up. However, when I was getting ready to use it to make the bread, the Dutch oven's instructions specifically stated that a liquid must be used to prevent damage to the pot. I still made the bread but I made sure that I had a layer of melted butter on the bottom on the pan. So much for low calorie!!I will continue to use the enamel lined pot for meat, etc but I went out and bought another black cast iron pot for making bread.
    Reply

  209. Made this today! It was so easy and delicious. Simplest recipe ever and produced great results. Only thing I did differently was lightly oil the bottom of the Dutch oven after it was preheated just in case the bread got stuck. Thanks for posting. Can finally say I've made bread!
    Reply

  210. Hi! I just bought a le Creuset and noticed the instructions say not to heat it past 375 F but this recipe is much higher. Will it be ok on the pot?
    Reply

    • I hadn't heard this Emily so you are opening my eyes!! I really appreciate you commenting! I did a little research and it appears that the part that might have trouble is the black knob on the top of the lid. The black side handles should be fine. My lid didn't have any issues, but that's not to say that every lid will be the same. The actual cast iron should be totally fine at the higher temps. I didn't personally have problems with the knob on my lid and I hope you don't either!!
      Reply

  211. Wow, this recipe was an EPIC fail. I was suspicious from the beginning so reread it several times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. That being said it was bad from the onset. The dough was waaay too wet. It slumped so bad it was almost impossible to get in the Dutch oven. I had to PRY it out of the pan. Once it was out of the pan I was actually contemplating a band saw to cut it. It is SO hard I can’t even salvage it for croutons. So disappointing. I’m an accomplished baker & have never had this kind of trouble w/ bread dough. True waste of time & ingredients.
    Reply

    • Wow Donna I'm just so so sorry to hear this. I have made this several times without incident, but I just hate that you had problems. I truly hope it didn't effect your Christmas :(. I do appreciate you letting me know.
      Reply

    • You know, I'm not totally sure. It would have to be a very large dutch oven. I'm such a novice still with bread making so I'm not sure on the baking time. But if you have a dutch oven big enough, it should work!
      Reply

  214. This came out perfectly. I made two loaves, back to back and both were excellent. The only modifications I made were to add 1/2 tsp of sugar and 2 Tbsp olive oil into the dough.Thanks for the recipe.
    Reply

  215. I didn't have a Dutch Oven so I used my Pampered Chef covered casserole. What could be easier? I love being able to do it a day ahead. It was wonderful. Enough for 2 company meals. Thanks much. I will be making it often.
    Reply

  216. Whoa, surely "3/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary" is a typo? That's a lot of rosemary! Did you mean 3/4 tbsp? Thanks!
    Reply

    • 3/4 cup of fresh full rosemary sprigs isn't that much and I didn't pack it either. Once I measured out the full sprigs into a 3/4 cup and then chopped that it really wasn't that much. And my bread turned out wonderfully and seemed to have the perfect amount of rosemary.
      Reply

  217. Pinterest fail for me. I was worried about the dough as it looked very wet and was a blob and impossible to make into a ball shape. I let it sit for 24 hours too. Should I have dissolved the yeast prior to mixing? I have a loaf that is now cooling off but looks like it's stuck to my Le Crueset. I doubt it'll be edible once I pry it out of there. I'm so bummed. What did I do wrong?
    Reply

    • I'm so sorry to hear this Keri. I have no idea what went wrong as I didn't have that issue, but I certainly hate that you did. When I make the recipe again I'll carefully try to see what the issue could be. Hope it didn't ruin your night!
      Reply

    • Hi Keri,I had the same issue. I want to try the recipe again and maybe dissolve the yeast first. I feel like that could be the only thing that would affect it like this. Let me know if you've tried again and what you did!
