Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine warm water with active dry yeast and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Add all-purpose flour and sea salt to the yeast mixture and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Fold in minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and olive oil until well combined.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.
  6. Transfer the shaped dough on parchment paper, cover it, and let rise for another 30 to 45 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 450°F with the Dutch oven inside for about 30 minutes.
  8. Carefully score the top of the dough and place it in the hot Dutch oven.
  9. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
  10. Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes
