Ingredients

  • 3 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1.5 cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and instant yeast until combined.
  • Add the warm water, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the chopped rosemary to the dry ingredients.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy, sticky dough forms and no dry flour remains.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet into the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C).
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and coat the bottom with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Gently transfer the risen dough into the center of the hot skillet, being careful not to deflate it entirely.
  • Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top and sprinkle with the remaining rosemary and an optional pinch of sea salt.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
  • Remove the bread from the skillet immediately and transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
