Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1.5 cups Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well using a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped fresh rosemary to the dry ingredients. Stir to distribute evenly throughout the flour mixture.

Step 3

Pour the warm water and olive oil into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until a rough, sticky dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours, or until it has doubled in size and bubbles have formed on the surface.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean countertop or work surface. Carefully turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently fold the dough over itself a few times to form a round or oval loaf. Avoid overworking the dough to preserve its airy texture.

Step 6

Place the dough seam-side down on a sheet of parchment paper. Cover it loosely with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for 30-60 minutes.

Step 7

While the dough is rising, place a Dutch oven (with its lid) into the oven and preheat to 450°F (232°C) for at least 30 minutes to ensure the pot is thoroughly heated.

Step 8

Once the dough has finished its second rise, carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Using the parchment paper, lift the dough and carefully lower it into the hot Dutch oven. Cover with the lid.

Step 9

Bake the bread with the lid on for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven using the parchment paper. Transfer it to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
