Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and yeast together.
  2. Add water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 12 to 18 hours at room temperature.
  4. After the rise, turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball.
  5. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat.
  7. Once heated, carefully place the dough into the Dutch oven and cover it.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • For a crustier loaf, use a baking stone instead of a Dutch oven.
  • Do not skip the long fermentation time for best results.
