🛒 Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ cups warm water

Optional Topping

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Extra rosemary
  • Flaky sea salt

🍞 Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, yeast, rosemary, and garlic.
Pour in warm water and stir until a shaggy sticky dough forms.

Step 2: Let It Rise

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel.
Let the dough rise at room temperature for 12–18 hours until bubbly and doubled in size.

Step 3: Shape the Bread

Lightly flour a surface and gently shape the dough into a ball.
Place it on parchment paper and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4: Preheat the Pot

Place a Dutch oven with lid into the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C) for 30 minutes.

Step 5: Bake

Carefully place dough (with parchment) into the hot Dutch oven.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove lid and bake another 10–15 minutes until deep golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let the bread cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm with butter, olive oil, soups, pasta, or Mediterranean dips.
