Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
5 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse sea salt
Cracked black pepper (optional)
Cornmeal or flour for dusting
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Fold in rosemary and garlic.
2. Cover bowl and let dough rise at room temperature for 12–18 hours.
3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and gently shape into a ball.
4. Place dough on parchment and let rest for 30–45 minutes while preheating oven to 450°F with Dutch oven or skillet inside.
5. Transfer dough (on parchment) into the hot pan. Brush with olive oil and top with rosemary, sea salt, and pepper.
6. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake 10–15 minutes more until golden brown.
7. Remove bread and cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For best results, use fresh rosemary and roasted garlic — they provide deep flavor and aroma.
Always preheat your Dutch oven to ensure a crispy crust.
Let the bread cool fully before slicing to avoid a gummy texture inside.
