This bread is so flavorful and delicious. If baked in a Dutch oven it gets nice and crusty.
1/2 cup olive oil
1 small bulb (or about 6 cloves) garlic, crushed
1 tbsp dried rosemary leaves
Infuse the oil by cooking these 3 ingredient on low heat for about 30 minutes. Cool.
2 cups warm water
1 tbsp yeast
2 tbsp sugar
In a large bowl place water, pour sugar in without stirring, and sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit for about 10 minutes till dissolved. Add 1 1/2 Tbsp salt and most of infused olive oil, setting aside a couple tablespoons of the oil for brushing on top of your loaf before baking.
I don't normally measure the flour, just add a cup or two at a time and knead till a soft non-sticky consistency.
Cover and let rise till double in size. Shape into a round loaf and score with a sharp knife, brush top with remaining oil, and let rise again on a greased pan till double. Bake in 350° F oven till golden brown on top.
To bake in Dutch oven: place your well-greased cast iron Dutch oven and lid (large for this recipe) in a 450° F oven for at least a half hour to thoroughly heat the Dutch oven. Reduce heat to 350°F then place your ready-to-bake loaf inside, cover and bake 20 minutes. Remove lid and bake another 10 or till done.
