Ingredients
– All-purpose flour
– Salt
– Instant yeast
– Cool or lukewarm water
– Fresh rosemary (about one robust sprig, or half the amount if dried and chopped)
– Finely grated parmesan cheese from a block
Instructions
1-Thoroughly mix the dry ingredients: flour, salt, yeast, parmesan cheese, and minced rosemary.
2-Add cool water and stir until a sticky, shaggy dough forms, then cover and let it rise for 18-20 hours.
3-Gently shape the dough into an oval or round loaf using light flouring, creating surface tension to keep air bubbles intact.
4-Transfer the shaped dough to flattened, crumpled parchment paper and let it rest for 30 minutes.
5-Score the dough surface to allow steam to escape, then bake in a preheated covered pot at 450°F for 30 minutes.
6-Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the loaf is golden brown and crusty; cool completely before slicing.

⚖️ Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients accurately for proper dough consistency.
❄️ Cold dough rises slower and is easier to handle; shaping with lightly floured or damp hands helps maintain structure.
🌬️ Store bread in breathable materials like cloth or paper bags at room temperature to keep crust crisp; avoid refrigeration to prevent staling.
