Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole head garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 1½ cups room-temperature water
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3 cups bread or all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut the garlic head in half and drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper, then wrap in foil. Roast for 40 minutes and allow to cool before removing cloves from skins.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in room-temperature water and let sit for 10–15 minutes. Combine flour, salt, oregano, and rosemary in a large bowl.
  3. Add the yeast water, roasted garlic, and remaining olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until sticky.
  4. Cover with a clean towel and let rise at room temperature for 8–10 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball on a floured surface and place seam-side up in a floured bowl; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  6. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside. Invert dough onto parchment paper (seam-side down) and score the top.
  7. Place dough into the preheated Dutch oven and bake covered for 30 minutes; then uncover and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for at least one hour before slicing.
