In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and instant yeast until evenly combined.
Add the water, which should be at room temperature, into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the mixture forms a shaggy, sticky dough.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it sit at room temperature. Allow the dough to rest for at least 12 to 18 hours (overnight is ideal) until it becomes bubbly and has doubled in size.
Once the dough has rested, generously flour a clean surface and your hands. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface, and using your hands, fold it onto itself a couple of times to form a rough ball.
Place the dough seam-side down on a piece of parchment paper. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let it rest for another 1 to 2 hours, or until it has puffed up slightly.
About 30 minutes before the dough has finished its second rise, preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a heavy Dutch oven or cast-iron pot (with its lid) inside the oven to preheat as well.
When the dough is ready, carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Lift the parchment paper with the dough on it and place it directly into the pot. Cover the pot with its lid and return it to the oven.
Bake the bread covered for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown.
Carefully remove the bread from the pot and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your freshly baked no-knead bread!
