Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Stir flour, fine sea salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add water and olive oil. Mix with a spoon until you have a rough, sticky dough. Fold in rosemary and cranberries.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let it rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours until puffy with tiny bubbles.
- Dust your counter with flour. Scrape the dough out and use floured hands to gently fold the edges toward the center a few times to make a loose ball.
- Place the dough seam-side down on a floured piece of parchment. Cover and rest 30 to 45 minutes while the oven preheats.
- Set a heavy lidded pot or Dutch oven in your oven and preheat to 450°F for at least 30 minutes.
- Carefully lift the dough by the parchment and lower it into the hot pot. Sprinkle a little rosemary and coarse sea salt on top.
- Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, then 10 to 15 minutes uncovered until deeply golden.
- Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Resist cutting too soon so the crumb sets.
Notes
Use cool to room-temperature water for best results. Allow longer resting time in cooler environments. Parchment paper aids in transferring the dough safely.
