Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast. Use a whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Pour warm water, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme into the dry mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let it rest for 12 to 18 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place the Dutch oven with the lid inside to warm for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the hot Dutch oven and drizzle olive oil at the bottom. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round loaf.
- Transfer the dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the lid and continue to bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes, before slicing.
