Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Combine water, yeast, and sugar in a measuring cup. Mix well. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk flour, fennel seeds, salt, red pepper flakes, onion, and garlic together in a large bowl making sure any flour clumps are broken up. Slowly pour in yeast mixture; stir.
Step 3
Remove Dutch oven from oven. Carefully place dough in the pot; cover with the lid.
Step 4
Knead dough by hand until well combined and an even consistency is reached. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; rest on the countertop, 10 to 14 hours.
Step 5
Turn dough out onto the counter; knead once more. Let rise, 30 to 60 minutes.
Step 6
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Sprinkle bottom of an oven-safe Dutch oven with flour, cover with the lid, place in the oven while preheating.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the lid; continue to bake until golden, about 30 minutes more. Transfer to a rack to cool.
