Instructions

Roast the Garlic: Slice the top off a garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes. Cool and squeeze out cloves.
Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, stir together flour, salt, and yeast. Add warm water, roasted garlic, and rosemary. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
First Rise: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12–18 hours, until doubled and bubbly.
Shape the Dough: Lightly flour a surface, shape dough into a ball, and place on parchment. Cover for 30–60 minutes.
Preheat Oven: Place a Dutch oven in the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C).
Bake: Carefully transfer the dough into the Dutch oven with parchment. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 15–20 minutes more until golden brown.
Cool: Remove from the pot and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For variation, try adding Parmesan, olives, or a mix of herbs. If you don’t have a Dutch oven, bake on a baking sheet with a pan of water in the oven to create steam. Bread stores well for 2–3 days at room temperature or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
