  -Add warm water, garlic, and yeast to bowl of stand-mixer. Stir on lowspeed with dough hook attachment to combine
  -add salt and flour. Mix on medium low speed for about five minutes or until dough is thoroughly mixed. This will be a very wet dough.
  -Grease a large glass bowl. Pour in bread dough and cover. Allow to rise in a warm spot for 2 hours
  -Using a greased hand, gently deflate dough. Allow to rise for 40 minutes
  -Preheat oven to 450 F. Ensure there is a metal dish on the bottom rack for steaming as explained below.
  -Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently pour the bread dough into the center of the sheet. It will begin to spread out into a flat loaf
  -Protecting yourself from steam, pour a cup of warm water into the hot pan on the bottom of the oven. Immediately place the baking sheet with bread loaf on the top rack.
  -Bake for about 35 minutes or until top and bottom of loaf are deep golden brown.
  -Remove from oven and place loaf promptly on a wire rack to avoid a soggy bottom

===Notes===
This is an amazing loaf of bread to go with soups.

Consider using dutch oven technique. Could do a rosemary variation as well.
