Equipment

  • 6-7 qt. Dutch oven

Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 cups flour all purpose or bread
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon yeast dry active or instant
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 8 garlic cloves peeled
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated asiago cheese or parmesan
  • olive oil for brushing
  • sea salt

Instructions

Roasting the Garlic

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Add 6-8 peeled garlic cloves to a small oven-safe ramekin. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil over the cloves. Cover the ramekin in foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until cloves are soft.

Making the Dough

  • Mix flour, salt, yeast, warm water and roasted garlic cloves together using a Danish dough hook or wooden spoon. The dough will be sticky.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap or damp towel and let rise on counter for 2 hours.
  • Place bowl in refrigerator and let rest another 2 hours.
  • Sprinkle dough with a small amount of flour (to make it easier to work with) and form into ball on floured surface.
  • Wash bowl and place a piece of parchment paper inside bowl.
  • Place dough on top of parchment paper. Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with grated asiago cheese. Sprinkle with sea salt (optional).
  • Cover with damp cloth, and let rise until dough is room temperature (about an hour).
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place Dutch oven pot inside oven while it preheats.
  • Use the parchment paper to lift dough out of bowl and place into pot.
  • Place lid on Dutch oven. Bake bread for 30 minutes.
  • Remove lid. Bake bread an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove bread, peel off parchment paper and allow bread to cool on wire rack.
