Step 1

Mix All-Purpose Flour (3 cups) , Water (1 1/2 cups) , Salt (1 tsp) , and Active Dry Yeast (1/2 tsp) together until it forms a messy dough. Cover and let rise for 8-12 hours.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and place a 4 1/2-quart dutch oven in the oven on the middle rack.

Step 3

Add the Fresh Thyme (1 Tbsp) , Fresh Rosemary (1 Tbsp) , Lemon (1) and Garlic (1/3 cup) to the dough. With floured hands, fold in the new ingredients. Add flour as needed. The dough should be loose but not sticky. Place on a large piece of parchment.

Step 4

Take out the heated dutch oven and place the dough in with the parchment still underneath. Bake for 45 minutes; first with the lid on for 30 minutes, then with the lid off for another 15 minutes.

Step 5

Serve and enjoy!
