Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour, salt, and instant yeast.
- Add the warm water, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil, turn the dough to coat, cover the bowl, and let rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
- Turn the risen dough out onto a heavily floured surface. Fold it over itself a few times and shape into a rough ball.
- Place the dough on a parchment-lined sheet, cover, and let rise for 1-2 more hours until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes before baking.
- Carefully transfer the dough (using the parchment) into the hot Dutch oven. Score the top, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for 15-20 more minutes until deep golden brown.
- Cool completely on a wire rack for 1-2 hours before slicing.
Notes
The long rise time is mostly hands-off. For best results, do not skip the cooling step before slicing.
