Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head garlic
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Coarse sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1½ cups water (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3 cups bread or all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Roast the garlic at 400°F (204°C) by slicing the top off the bulb, drizzling with olive oil, sprinkling with salt and pepper, and wrapping in foil. Bake for about 40 minutes until soft.
  2. In a bowl, combine room temperature water and yeast; let sit until frothy (about 10–15 minutes).
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, oregano, and salt.
  4. Mix the frothy yeast mixture, smashed roasted garlic, and remaining olive oil into the flour mixture until just combined. Cover and let rise for 8–10 hours.
  5. Shape the dough gently into a ball and rest for another 15–20 minutes.
  6. Chill shaped dough overnight in the refrigerator.
  7. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside. Score the dough on parchment paper and transfer it to the hot pot.
  8. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
