  • 3 cups bread or all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary (plus more for topping)

  1. Roast the Garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut the garlic head in half, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, wrap in foil, and roast for about 40 minutes until soft.
  2. Mix the Dough: Dissolve yeast in water for 10–15 minutes. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, oregano, rosemary; add yeast mixture and smashed roasted garlic. Combine until dough is sticky.
  3. First Rise: Cover and let rise at room temperature for 8–10 hours until doubled.
  4. Shape & Cold Ferment: Shape into a ball without overworking. Place seam-side up in a floured bowl; refrigerate for 1 to 24 hours.
  5. Preheat Oven & Score: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Invert dough onto parchment paper and score the top.
  6. Bake: Transfer dough to Dutch oven using parchment paper; cover and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool & Slice: Let cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing.
