No Knead Rosemary Lemon Bread

Yes, you had heard it right, NO KNEAD!

It's really simple to make it but it takes hours to wait for the dough to rise into double before baking but it's all worth of your time!

My girls loved it! I like to toast it and spread out with a little bit of butter and able to taste the blurst of lemony flavors into my mouth.

It would be great for breakfast or along with your dinner meals.


Ingredients:
3 cups of all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 whole lemon for zest only (no necessary to use lemon juice)

In the mixer or large bowl, combine all of those ingredients above. Add 1 5/8 cup water by pour slowly until blended. It would be a sticky one! Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap. Let dough rest at warm temperature (about 70 degree or leave it on the counter) about 12 to 18 hours.

Place dough with a little bit of flour to shape up the dough into a ball and cover with the cotton towel to let it arise into double size, approximately 2 hours.

Turn on your oven at 450 degree. You can either put it into a loaf pan like I did or 2 3/4 quart cast-iron pot. Bake it about 15 or 30 minutes.

Cool it a little bit before removing it from the loaf pan or cast-iron pot then take it off. Put it on the plate or wire rack to cool it off more.
