Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast until well combined.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and fresh herbs, followed by the lukewarm water, mixing until no dry flour remains.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface and gently scrape the dough out of the bowl using a spatula.
  5. Form a round ball by folding the edges towards the center and place on parchment paper.
  6. About 30 minutes prior to baking, preheat your Dutch oven to 450°F.
  7. Transfer the rested dough into the Dutch oven, score the top with a knife, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown, internal temp reaches 205-210°F.
  9. After baking, transfer the bread to a cooling rack and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
