Instructions

In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper and yeast. Using a wooden spoon or your hand, add water and mix until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 30 seconds.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until the surface is dotted with bubbles, about 18 to 24 hours.
Lightly oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet or coat with nonstick spray; sprinkle with cornmeal.
Working on a lightly floured surface, gently shape the dough into a round.
Place the dough into the prepared skillet.
Cover with a clean dishtowel and let stand at room temperature until the dough has doubled in size and does not readily spring back when poked with a finger, about 2 hours.
Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes.
