Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, yeast, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic.
2. Pour in warm water and stir until a shaggy, sticky dough forms. Do not knead.
3. Cover the bowl tightly and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
4. Lightly flour a surface and gently shape the dough into a round loaf without overworking it.
5. Place dough on parchment paper, cover, and let rise for 30 to 60 minutes while preheating oven to 450°F with a Dutch oven inside.
6. Carefully transfer dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.
7. Remove lid and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown and crusty.
8. Cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Avoid adding too much extra flour when shaping the dough. A slightly sticky dough creates the airy interior and crisp crust that makes this bread so special.
