Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Fold in the chopped rosemary and minced garlic.
Rising
  1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 12-18 hours.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a Dutch oven or heavy pot with a lid inside to heat.
  2. Once the dough has risen, turn it onto a floured surface and shape it into a rough ball.
  3. Cover it again and let it relax for about 30 minutes.
  4. Carefully transfer the dough into the hot pot, cover it with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and let it cool before slicing.
  2. Serve with butter or alongside your favorite soup.

Notes

Warm water is key for proper dough rising. Consider a longer fermentation for better flavor. Experiment with different herbs as desired.
