# What You’ll Need:
→ Dough
01 - 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons salt
03 - 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
04 - 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
05 - 1 1/2 cups warm water, approximately 110°F
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Add-ins
07 - 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
09 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or parsley, optional
# How to Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar
02 - In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy
03 - Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms
04 - Fold in the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and optional herbs. Stir until evenly incorporated
05 - Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 12 to 18 hours, or overnight, until doubled and bubbly
06 - Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface. Gently shape into a round loaf, handling lightly to retain airiness
07 - Place the loaf on parchment paper. Let rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450°F, placing a Dutch oven inside to heat
08 - Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife or lame in a crosshatch or decorative pattern
09 - Using oven mitts, carefully transfer the dough with parchment into the hot Dutch oven. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes
10 - Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes, until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom
11 - Transfer to a wire rack and cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing
