- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on top.A fully baked loaf will have a rich, even color and feel light for its size.
Pro Tip: For an extra-crispy crust, add a few ice cubes to a separate pan on the lower rack to create steam as the bread bakes.
8. Cool and Serve
- Allow the bread to cool in the skillet for about 15 minutes before slicing.This resting time helps the crumb set so the interior remains soft and not gummy.
Serve warm with butter, olive oil, or use as a sturdy base for your favorite toppings. Enjoy the fragrant garlic and rosemary flavors in every bite!
