Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Herb Dutch Oven Bread
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast. Pour in the warm water, then add the minced garlic and your choice of fresh herbs. Mix until fully combined to form a shaggy dough.
  2. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
  3. Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F) about 30 minutes before the dough is ready, placing your empty Dutch oven inside.
  4. Transfer the rested dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round loaf. Dust the top with flour.
  5. Once the Dutch oven is preheated, remove it carefully, coat with olive oil, and place the shaped dough inside. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  7. Transfer the baked bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
