Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups room temperature water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and instant yeast until well combined.
- Add the water and stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky, shaggy dough forms. Do not knead.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise at room temperature for 12–18 hours, until the dough has doubled and has bubbles on the surface.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven with its lid in the oven while preheating.
- Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.
- Place the dough into the hot Dutch oven. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, bake a few minutes longer uncovered.
- You can add herbs or seeds to the dough for extra flavor.
- This bread freezes well; slice and freeze for convenient future use.
- Use room temperature water to help the yeast activate properly.
