Ingredients
Scale
- 50g active sourdough starter
- 350g filtered water
- 500g bread flour
- 10g salt
- 1 head of garlic
- 14g olive oil
- 3g fresh rosemary, chopped
- 175g asiago cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare garlic by cutting off the top, drizzling with olive oil, wrapping in foil, and roasting for 30-40 minutes until soft.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and water until dissolved. Add bread flour and salt; mix until no dry flour remains. Squeeze in roasted garlic cloves and fold in chopped rosemary.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise at room temperature for about 12 hours or until doubled in size.
- Deflate the risen dough, shape into a round loaf, and place seam-side up in a proofing basket. Cover with a cloth and let rise for another hour while preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Transfer the loaf onto a baking stone or hot Dutch oven, score if desired, and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
