Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut the garlic head in half, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, wrap it in foil, and roast for about 40 minutes until tender.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in room-temperature water. Allow it to sit for 10–15 minutes until frothy.
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, oregano, and rosemary. Add the yeast mixture and roasted garlic (smashed) along with remaining olive oil. Mix until sticky.
  4. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise at room temperature for about 8–10 hours.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball without deflating too much air and place it seam-side up in a floured bowl or basket; refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 48 hours.
  6. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside. Carefully invert the dough onto parchment paper and score the top.
  7. Bake covered for 30 minutes; then uncover and bake for another 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing.
