📝 Preparation Steps

5

6

7
Gently knead in roasted garlic by hand, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Dough should come together well at this point; slightly sticky is fine, but still should be manageable.
8
Cover
9
Place dough ball in well oiled bowl, turning dough a few times so that dough surfaces are protected by oil. Tightly cover bowl with cling wrap.
10
Rise
11
Place in a warm, draft-free area to rise until dough is doubled, approx. ⏱️ 1 hour, depending on room temp (if your room is cooler, it could take ⏱️ 2 hours.)
12
Shape
13
After dough is doubled, gently punch it down and shape into a rounded loaf. Using sharp knife, make a criss-cross design on top. Place rounded loaf on greased baking sheet.
14
Rise
15
Cover up loaf with large mixing bowl inverted over it. Make sure bowl is large enough that it gives your loaf room to rise. Let rise until doubled again, approximately ⏱️ 1 hour.
16
Season
17
After dough has doubled again, very gently brush with olive oil, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and a bit more rosemary. Try not to deflate loaf at all.
