Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt.
- Add the warm water and roasted garlic, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Incorporate the freshly chopped rosemary into the mixture.
Rising
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Place in a warm, draft-free area and let rise for about 12 to 18 hours.
Shaping
- Lightly flour your work surface.
- Turn the dough out onto the floured area and fold it over a few times to shape it into a round loaf.
Baking
- About 30 minutes before baking, place a Dutch oven with its lid in the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C).
- Carefully remove the Dutch oven and place your shaped dough inside.
- Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cooling
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For the best flavor, let the bread cool completely before slicing. Store leftovers in a paper bag at room temperature.
