Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head garlic
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Coarse sea salt and 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
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary (plus more for topping)
  • 1 whole head roasted garlic (smashed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Slice the garlic head in half, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, wrap in foil, and roast for about 40 minutes.
  2. Once cooled, activate the yeast by sprinkling it over room temperature water and letting it sit until frothy (10-15 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, oregano, salt, and rosemary.
  4. Add the yeast mixture along with smashed roasted garlic and olive oil; mix until just combined.
  5. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 8-10 hours).
  6. Shape the dough on a floured surface, then place seam side up in a floured basket or bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  7. Preheat your Dutch oven to 450°F (232°C). Invert the dough onto parchment paper, score the top gently, then transfer to the pot.
  8. Bake covered for about 30 minutes; uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
