Ingredient!
4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoon of salt for dough
1 teaspoon dry yeast
2 cups of lukewarm water
1-3 teaspoon puree, roasted garlic
Preparation!
make your own roasted garlic in just 30 minutes or buy, jarred, in the supermarket
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl
Add water 1 cup at a time, combine all dry ingredients with the first cup of water before adding a second cup. It is important that you take the time to record the first head completely before moving on to the second.
Add the mashed roasted garlic
Cover and allow to rise to room temperature, anywhere from 8-12 hours
WITH OVEN MITS, remove the hot pan from the oven, lightly wipe the bottom of the pan with olive oil and place on the hob.
Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface, a rubber spatula can help here and gently form a ball. Transfer the dough ball from the floured surface to a hot pan, a dough scraper is handy for this.
Use a prepared kitchen scissors to cut a cross in the top of your bread, sprinkle generously with sea salt and bake for 45-50 minutes until the bread has a nice golden brown color and the bottom, tapped, makes a slightly hollow sound.
Remove the pan immediately and allow to cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Serve
