Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water with 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Slowly stir in 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 minced cloves of fresh garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until a rough dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
  5. Gently punch down the risen dough to release air, then shape it into a loaf.
  6. Place the shaped loaf onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover loosely, and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Bake the bread for approximately 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
