Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1.5 cups Lukewarm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast until evenly combined.
Step 2
Pour in the lukewarm water gradually, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Ensure all the flour is incorporated, but do not knead the dough.
Step 3
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. The dough should double in size and appear bubbly on the surface.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven or heavy oven-safe pot with a lid into the oven while it preheats, allowing it to become very hot (at least 30 minutes).
Step 5
While the oven is preheating, lightly dust a clean surface with flour and transfer the dough onto it. Shape the dough into a rough ball by folding the edges toward the center. Do not knead.
Step 6
Carefully remove the preheated Dutch oven from the oven and place a sheet of parchment paper to line the pot. Transfer the dough ball onto the parchment paper.
Step 7
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 8
After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake uncovered for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and crisp.
Step 9
Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
