Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your active sourdough starter, bread flour, water, and salt. Mix until combined and cover with a damp cloth. Let rest for 30 minutes.
- Gently fold in the roasted garlic and chopped fresh rosemary into the dough. Cover again and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 4-6 hours, performing stretch-and-fold every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours.
- Gently shape the dough into a round loaf on a floured surface, then transfer to a proofing basket, seam side up, and allow to rest for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a cast iron Dutch oven or baking stone inside to heat.
- Gently flip the loaf onto parchment paper and transfer it to the hot pot. Cover with the lid and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the bread to a wire rack. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes
For best flavor, ensure sourdough starter is active and follow the resting times strictly for optimal texture.
