Ingredients

Scale

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients. I always opt for quality over quantity, using fresh herbs and good flour to ensure each bite is flavorful and satisfying. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sourdough starter
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

If you don’t have fresh herbs, dried ones work well too. And if the sourdough starter isn’t an option, a pinch of yeast can serve as a substitute in a pinch, though the flavor won’t be as nuanced.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, water, and sourdough starter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and salt to the dough, mixing until well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.
  4. Once risen, place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a round loaf.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450°F and place a Dutch oven inside to heat.
  6. When ready, carefully place the dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
