Step-by-Step Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- Gently punch down the risen dough to release air, then shape it into a loaf.
- Place the shaped loaf onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover loosely, and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Bake the bread for approximately 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Ensure your warm water is around 110°F for optimal yeast activation. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
