Ingredients:
- 3 cups (375g) bread flour
- 1½ tsp (9g) salt
- ¼ tsp (1g) instant yeast
- 1½ cups (355ml) warm water
- ½ cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp (6g) fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup (50g) sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 375g bread flour, 9g salt, and 1g instant yeast.
- Stir in the 50g grated Parmesan, 6g chopped rosemary, and 50g sun-dried tomatoes until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the 355ml warm water and stir with a spatula until a shaggy, sticky dough forms and no dry flour remains.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours until the dough has doubled in size and the surface is dotted with bubbles.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C), placing an empty Dutch oven with the lid inside to heat.
- Turn the sticky dough out onto a well-floured surface and gently fold the edges toward the center to form a rough boule.
- Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, cover with a towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes while the pot finishes heating.
- Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven, lift the parchment paper and dough, and lower it into the pot.
- Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes until the crust turns a deep mahogany-colored brown.
- Carefully lift the loaf out and let it cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before slicing.
