Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 cups lukewarm water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

Slowly pour in the lukewarm water while mixing with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the ingredients come together into a sticky and shaggy dough. Do not knead.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours in a draft-free place. The dough should double in size and appear bubbly on the surface.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface and your hands. Gently turn the dough out onto the floured surface and shape it into a round loaf by folding the edges into the center. Avoid overworking it.

Step 5

Place the shaped dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30-60 minutes to puff up slightly.

Step 6

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven with its lid inside to preheat for at least 30 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully remove the preheated Dutch oven from the oven. Using the parchment paper as a sling, transfer the dough into the Dutch oven.

Step 8

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the bread is golden brown and has a crisp crust.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
