Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and 1 packet of instant yeast.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of warm water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
- Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a round boule, then let it rest for about 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place the Dutch oven inside to heat for 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the Dutch oven, drizzle olive oil inside, and place the shaped dough seam-side down.
- Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
