Ingredients

Bread Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant yeast (rapid rise)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary optional
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 can or bottle (12 ounce) room temperature beer or 1 1/2 cups warm water

Equipment

Large bowl
Dutch oven
Parchment paper

Method

In a bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, rosemary (if using), and salt. Add the beer and mix with a spatula until combined. Cover the bowl and let sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours, but ideally overnight.
Preheat your oven to 450° F. Place a large Dutch oven in the oven to preheat for 30 minutes.
Generously dust a work surface with flour. Scrape the dough out of the bowl. Form the dough into a ball and place it on a piece of parchment. Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
When ready, carefully lift the dough and the parchment and place it in the Dutch oven. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking until the bread is a deep, golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove from the oven. Serve with softened butter and sea salt.

Notes

This recipe is a great base. You can adapt it by adding seeds or different herbs. For a different meal, consider serving this bread alongside shrimp sautéed with garlic for a quick dinner.
