Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Warm Water (around 105-115°F or 40-46°C)
  • 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Give it a gentle stir. Let this mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
  2. In a separate, larger bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt.
  3. Once your yeast mixture is bubbly, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add 2 tablespoons of the extra virgin olive oil. Using a sturdy spoon or a dough whisk, mix everything together until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Lightly grease a clean bowl with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the kneaded dough in the bowl, turning it once to coat with oil. Cover the bowl tightly and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. While the dough is rising, finely mince your fresh garlic and finely chop your fresh rosemary. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil into a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  7. Once the dough has doubled, gently punch it down. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Flatten it into a rough rectangle. Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped rosemary evenly over the surface of the dough. Fold the dough over a few times and gently knead it for about 1 minute.
  8. Place the shaped dough into the prepared cast iron skillet. Cover the skillet loosely and let it rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
  9. About 15-20 minutes before the second rise is complete, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once preheated, uncover the skillet and place it in the oven. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  10. Once baked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Brush the top with a little more olive oil. Let the bread cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
