Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole head garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 1½ cups water (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3 cups bread or all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and roast the garlic by cutting the head in half, drizzling with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper, wrapping in foil, and baking for about 40 minutes until soft. Squeeze out the cloves when cool.
  2. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in room-temperature water for about 10–15 minutes until bubbly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, oregano, and rosemary; add in the yeast mixture along with roasted garlic and olive oil. Stir until sticky.
  4. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise at room temperature for 8–10 hours.
  5. Shape the risen dough gently into a ball and place seam-side up in a floured bowl. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours for cold fermentation.
  6. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside. Score the dough lightly before placing it on parchment paper.
  7. Bake covered for 30 minutes; then uncover and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
