    • Vegetarian
    • Preparation time: 20 minutes + proving
    • Cooking time: 1 hours
    • Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes + proving

    Serves: 8

    Ingredients

    2 bulbs garlic
    1 tbsp olive oil
    400g strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
    100g fine ground semolina, plus extra for dusting
    1 tsp sea salt
    7g sachet fast action dried yeast
    ½ tbsp golden caster sugar
    ½ x 20g pack fresh rosemary, leaves stripped
    50ml Italian extra virgin olive oil
    Sea salt to sprinkle
     

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 8. Place the whole garlic bulbs on a sheet of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and close the foil up to form a packet. Sit on a baking sheet and place in the oven to bake for 40 minutes until soft and caramelised. Leave to cool.

    2. Place the flour, semolina, salt, yeast and sugar into the large bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attached. Add 300ml lukewarm water and mix until combined into a soft, smooth and springy dough.

    3. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a ball. Place back in a clean, oiled bowl and leave to rise for at least 30 minutes until doubled in size.

    4. Sprinkle semolina into a 20cm x 30cm tin. Tip the dough out of the bowl and knock back. Pat into the tin, pressing into the corners with your fingers, making lots of dents across the surface.

    5. Squeeze the garlic cloves from their papery skins and push into the indentations.

    6. Toss the rosemary in half the olive oil and scatter over the bread. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Leave to rise for a further 20 minutes.

    7. Drizzle generously with the remaining olive oil and place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes, until risen and golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool before cutting into 8 lengths.
