In a large mixing bowl, stir together the yeast, flour, salt, rosemary, garlic powder, and black pepper. Then mix in the hot water and combine. I used a wooden spoon; otherwise, a kitchen aid works as well.
Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 3 hours in a warm spot of your kitchen. If your kitchen is on the colder end, let rest in another spot of your house.
Sprinkle flour on a clean surface, and scrape the dough onto the surface. Flatten out using your hands or a spatula and sprinkle ½ cup of parmesan and press it down. Work the dough back into a ball by folding it in around the edges and keep going around to fold for another 4 or so times (pictures above).
Place a sheet of parchment paper back in the bowl and add your dough inside. Then top with the rest of the parmesan, and sprinkle more rosemary if you have it.
Cover and let rise on top of the oven for another 30 minutes while your oven is preheating to 450°F with the dutch oven inside.
Carefully remove the pot out of the oven and drop your parchment paper and dough inside. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Remove the lid, and bake for another 5-8 minutes, until the parmesan is golden.
Carefully remove the pot from the oven, then remove the bread and place it on a cooling rack for at least an hour prior to cutting into it.
