Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1½ tsp salt
½ tsp instant or active dry yeast
1½ cups warm water
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a towel. Let rest at room temperature for 8–12 hours (overnight works best).
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 230°C (450°F) with a Dutch oven inside.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Shape roughly into a ball and let it rest while oven heats.
Carefully place dough into the hot Dutch oven (use parchment for easy lifting). Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove lid and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until deep golden and crusty.
