Step-by-Step Instructions for Rosemary Sourdough Bread
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 500g of strong bread flour with 350g of lukewarm water and 150g of your bubbly active sourdough starter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, ensuring no dry flour remains.
- After the resting period, fold in 100g of roasted garlic and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary into your dough. Sprinkle 10g of salt evenly over the surface.
- Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for approximately 4 hours, performing stretching and folding every 30 minutes.
- Once your dough has doubled in size, gently turn it out onto a well-floured surface and shape into a round loaf. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
- After resting, place your shaped loaf into a flour-dusted proofing basket seam side up and let it proof for about 1-2 hours.
- While your dough is proofing, preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside for at least 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven and transfer your dough into it. Cover the pot and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer your Rosemary Sourdough Bread onto a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes
