In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 packet of active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually pour in 1 and ½ cups of warm water (110°F or 43°C) and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until you form a sticky dough, ensuring no dry flour remains at the bottom.

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in a warm, draft-free area for 12 to 18 hours, allowing the dough to rise until it has doubled in size and appears bubbly on the surface.

Lightly flour your countertop and gently turn the risen dough onto it. Using floured hands, shape the dough into a round loaf. Place the shaped dough on a floured cloth or baking sheet.

Cover the shaped dough with another floured cloth and let it rest for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.

While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside. Allow the Dutch oven to heat for at least 30 minutes.

Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle it generously with minced garlic and shredded parmesan cheese. Lift the parchment paper, place it in the Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.

After the initial 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the bread is golden brown.

Once baked, carefully transfer the Parmesan Garlic Bread from the Dutch oven to a wire rack. Let it cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
