🕒 The Details

  • Prep time: 15 mins (plus rising time) 🔪
  • Bake time: 30–35 mins 🔥
  • Effort level: Surprisingly easy! 🏆

🛒 What You’ll Need

  • 3 cups All-purpose or Bread flour 🌾
  • 1 1/2 cups Warm water 💧
  • 1/4 tsp Instant yeast 🍞
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt 🧂
  • 2 tbsp Fresh rosemary, finely chopped 🌿
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil (for the bowl) 🫒

👩‍🍳 Let’s Get Baking!

  1. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, yeast, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic. 🥣🌿
  2. Combine: Pour in the warm water and stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. 🥄💦
  3. The Long Wait: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit on your counter for 12–18 hours. This slow rise is what creates that amazing rustic texture! ⏰⏳
  4. Shape: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven (or heavy pot) inside. 🌡️🔥 Carefully transfer the sticky dough onto a piece of parchment paper and shape it into a round loaf. 🍞📐
  5. Bake Covered: Carefully lift the parchment paper and drop the dough into the hot pot. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. 🥨🥘
  6. Bake Uncovered: Remove the lid and bake for another 5–10 minutes until the crust is a beautiful golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. 🔊✨
  7. Cool: Let it rest on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing—if you can wait that long! 😋🔪

💡 Pro-Tip:

For an extra “fancy” look, use a sharp knife to score a simple “X” or a wheat design on the top of the dough right before putting it in the oven! 🌾🎨
