Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon of instant yeast, and 1 ½ teaspoons of coarse sea salt. Stir thoroughly until everything is well integrated.
  2. Create a well in the center of your flour mixture and pour in 1 ½ cups of lukewarm water, drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil, and add chopped fresh rosemary. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly and let the dough rise at room temperature for about 2 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Flour a clean surface and gently turn the dough out, shaping it into a rough ball with slightly taut outside.
  5. Place the shaped dough on parchment paper, sprinkle with extra sea salt, and preheat your Dutch oven to 450°F.
  6. Transfer the dough into the Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 30 minutes for a moist interior and crispy crust.
  7. After 30 minutes, uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Ensure your bowl is tightly covered for rising. Avoid adding too much flour to keep the dough sticky, which is key for texture. Preheat your Dutch oven for a crispy crust. Cool completely before slicing.
