Ingredients

2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1/4 cup olive oil
6 cups flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup yellow onion, fine dice
1-2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil with 3-4 cloves of garlic


Directions

Combine water and yeast; add olive oil, flour, salt and sugar to the water and combine. Knead in the onion and rosemary. Spread the dough in a greased 12-inch Dutch oven and let proof. Brush with dough with seasoned olive oil.

Bake with 8-10 coals underneath and 14-16 on the top for 35-45 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of the baking brush the top of the loaf with the seasoned olive oil again. The bread should be golden brown and hollow sound to the thump. Remove bread from the Dutch oven and serve with butter, garlic butter, roasted garlic or with garlic olive oil.
