Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.5 cups Lukewarm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Stir to combine evenly.
Step 2
Add the lukewarm water to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky, but that's okay.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let the dough rest at room temperature for 8 to 18 hours, until it has doubled in size and is bubbly on the surface.
Step 4
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a Dutch oven (with its lid) inside the oven while it preheats to ensure it becomes hot.
Step 5
Lightly flour a clean counter or work surface, and gently turn the risen dough out onto the floured surface. Shape it into a round loaf, being careful not to deflate it too much.
Step 6
Using oven mitts, carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Place the dough inside the Dutch oven, cover it with the lid, and return it to the oven.
Step 7
Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and has a crisp crust.
Step 8
Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
