Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cups Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and dried rosemary. Mix well.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the dry ingredients. Stir to evenly distribute the mix-ins.
Pour in the warm water and mix with a large spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms. Do not knead the dough.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean damp kitchen towel, and allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. The dough should double in size and appear bubbly on the surface.
After the first rise, lightly flour your hands and work surface. Turn the dough onto the surface and gently shape it into a round loaf. Avoid overhandling the dough.
Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and carefully transfer it to a clean bowl or proofing basket. Cover it and let it rise for another 30 to 60 minutes.
While the dough is proofing, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a Dutch oven (with lid) inside the oven during the preheating process to heat it up.
Once the oven is preheated and the dough has risen, carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Using the parchment paper as a sling, transfer the dough into the Dutch oven.
Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bread has a deep golden-brown crust.
Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and transfer it to a cooling rack. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
