Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, salt, and instant yeast. Add warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Fold in rosemary and garlic.

2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or towel. Let dough rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours until bubbly.

3. Lightly flour a surface and hands. Turn dough out gently and shape into a ball. Let rest for 30–60 minutes while oven preheats.

4. Preheat a Dutch oven or cast iron pot with lid in oven at 450°F (232°C) for at least 30 minutes.

5. Carefully place dough on parchment paper and transfer to the hot pot. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.

6. Remove lid and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until golden brown.

7. Let bread cool for at least 20–30 minutes before slicing to set the crumb.

Notes

Use a hot Dutch oven to ensure a crispy, golden crust.

Letting the dough ferment overnight enhances flavor and texture.

For extra flavor, brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt and pepper before baking.
