Have you ever baked bread before? If not, you’re going to love how easy it is. This dutch oven garlic rosemary bread recipe is one of my new favorites, and it’s so simple. There is seriously nothing more comforting than homemade bread.
Kidding, but homemade bread is something that makes my heart sing. I’m not going to lie. The best part is that is it’s so easy, so simple, and so delicious.
A few weeks ago I came across this No Knead Bread recipe from Gimme Some Oven and it’s delicious. I used it as a guide to dress it up and lower the flour a bit for this crusty rosemary and garlic bread recipe.
Garlic & Herb Dutch Oven Bread Recipe
I haven’t made this recipe without a dutch oven, so I don’t know how it will turn out without it. The dutch oven helps the bread bake with steam.
There are a few factors involved in having artisan breads rise: the temperate of your home, the type of yeast you used, the flours, your elevation. It all matters. So you may have to experiment a bit to find what works best for your situation but I’ll share what works for me.
I simply combine all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir it together with a wooden spoon. I don’t bother kneading this recipe and it’s so freeing). The less work, the better. I am always looking for the simplest route possible.
Roasted Garlic Bread
I’m lucky enough to have a proofing option with my oven. My house is usually cold (especially when it’s not the summer) so I hit bread proof, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise for an hour.
If you don’t have a proofing option, you can turn on your oven and let the bowl sit on top. I have also let the bread sit over furnace vents in the past as well (this worked so well for my homemade buns).
This is what the roasted garlic dough looks like after rising for an hour. I used a quick yeast because that’s always what I have on hand. I typically only ever make my family’s recipe for homemade buns and that requires the quick rise yeast, so that was that.
Pull A Part Garlic Bread Dutch Oven
I did this by taking a paring knife and slicing down the center. You can make multiple slices or go the fancy route and make some pretty designs.
Don’t get me wrong, I can eat this loaf of bread on its own (especially with some salted butter) but I am all for homemade bread and soup. Here are a few of my favorite homemade soup recipes:
Baking garlic bread in a dutch oven is a game-changer. It doesn’t dry out and it’s like it hugs the dough to form this beautiful artisan loaf. I’ve tried so many bread recipes with garlic before, but this one creates such simplicity and a really beautiful pull apart bread.

When it comes to camping appetizers, it doesn’t get much better than this.
While there are lots of ways to make garlic bread, this variation places the emphasis on the communal experience. Fun and interactive, this pull-apart bread is a centerpiece appetizer that can bring people together in a way a bowl of chips and dip can only dream about. But the best part of this crowd pleaser is how simple it is to make. With only a loaf of bread and a handful of ingredients, this is an appetizer that can be thrown together in virtually no time.
If you have never cooked in a Dutch oven before, this a great place to start. While some Dutch oven recipes can be a little more involved, this one is pretty straight-forward and intuitive. You’re pretty much just warming the bread and melting cheese. So even if your charcoal measurements aren’t perfect, this recipe should still turn out great.
Dutch Oven Garlic Pull Apart
So the next time you’re going camping with a group of friends or the whole family, give this pull apart garlic bread a try. It might just become your favorite outdoor appetizer.
‣ At the end of the day, this is just a fun recipe. It’s fun to make, it’s fun to eat, and it’s a blast to enjoy with friends. Which is why it’s perfectly suited for a group camping trip.
‣ There are some Dutch oven recipes that require exact precision in terms of charcoal placement/ratios. This recipe is not one of them. In fact, since you’re just warming the bread and melting the cheese, this recipe is very forgiving. Depending on the size of your Dutch oven you’re looking for roughly 3:1 top to bottom coal distribution. For our 10” / 4 qt Dutch oven, we used 15 on top and 5 coals on the bottom.
Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Dutch Oven Bread
‣ If you want to minimize clean up afterward, we suggest lining your Dutch oven with aluminum foil. This will also make it much easier to remove the bread from the Dutch oven if you would like to plate it. We opted to eat straight out of the Dutch oven, but if you have kids, putting the bread on a plate might prevent a hand from accidentally touching the hot cast iron.
‣ It’s really important that your loaf of bread is shorter than the walls of your Dutch oven. If the bread touches the inside of the lid, the cheese will atomically fuse to it and make a total mess. (Don’t ask us how we learned this). So when selecting your bread, make sure it fits inside your Dutch oven with room to close the lid.
‣ We really went to town with the garlic on this recipe. Unless you really want to be able to kill vampires with your breath, feel free to dial it back a little bit.
