FAQ
Q: Can I make this bread without a Dutch oven?
A: Yes! If you don’t have a Dutch oven, you can bake the bread on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Just make sure to preheat the baking sheet in the oven first.

Q: How long do I need to let the dough rise?
A: For the best flavor and texture, allow the dough to rest for 12-18 hours at room temperature. If you’re short on time, you can let it rise for as little as 6 hours, though the flavor may not be as rich.

Q: What if I don’t have fresh garlic?
A: If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can substitute it with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.
