Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Add lukewarm water and stir until well blended into a shaggy dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let it rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
- After rising, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently fold to shape it into a ball.
- Place the dough on parchment paper, cover again, and let it rise for another hour.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) about 30 minutes before baking. If using, heat a Dutch oven inside the oven.
- Carefully transfer the dough into the hot Dutch oven using the parchment paper. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes; then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before slicing.
