- 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix in olive oil, minced garlic, fresh herbs, and salt. Gradually stir in flour until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place seam-side down on parchment paper.
- Let it rise again for 30-45 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F (232°C). Transfer the loaf into the preheated Dutch oven and bake covered for 30 minutes; uncover and bake another 15 minutes until golden brown.
