Ingredients
1 ½ cups warm water
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon instant yeast
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced or roasted
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for the skillet)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
2. Fold in garlic and rosemary. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel and let rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
3. After resting, transfer dough to a floured surface. Gently shape it into a ball and let rest for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven inside to heat for 20 minutes.
5. Carefully remove the skillet, add olive oil or line with parchment. Place the dough inside.
6. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until golden and crusty.
7. Remove from skillet and let cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Room temperature rise is key: Keep the dough in a draft-free, warm area for proper fermentation.
Don’t skip preheating the skillet: This helps form the perfect crust.
Fresh rosemary and roasted garlic elevate flavor—use quality ingredients.
