- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 ½ cups water, room temperature
- In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and instant yeast.
- Add water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
- Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball.
- Let it rest for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Place a Dutch oven (with the lid) into the oven to heat up for 30 minutes.
- Once heated, carefully remove the pot, place the dough inside, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- For added flavor, herbs can be mixed into the dough before the rise.
- Always check the bread around the baking time to avoid over-baking.
