0 Whisk 7 grams of active yeast, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar into 1 1/2 cups of warm water (between 100°-110° degrees) and set aside for 5-7 minutes or until foamy
1 Mix in 375 grams of flour and a teaspoon of salt until a shaggy dough forms
2 Add 1 cup of shredded parmesan and a tablespoon of dried Italian herbs and fold into the shaggy dough
3 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a heavy towel and rest in a warm spot for 1 hour
4 Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently fold the dough a few times forming it into a round ball
5 Place the formed dough onto a sheet of parchment paper, transfer back into the bowl, cover and rest for 30 minutes
6 Place a Dutch oven with lid onto the middle rack of your oven and preheat to 450°
7 Once the oven is preheated and the Dutch oven is super hot, carefully transfer it out of the oven and quickly close the door to trap the heat
8 Remove the lid and use the parchment to transfer the loaf into the preheated Dutch oven, place the lid back on and bake in a 450 degree oven for 30 minutes
9 Carefully remove the lid and bake for another 5-7 minutes or until the crust is deeply golden
10 Transfer the loaf onto a cooling rack to cool for at least an hour before slicing
