Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours, until doubled and bubbly.
  4. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven (or heavy pot with a lid) inside as it heats.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Shape gently into a ball.
  6. Carefully remove the hot pot, place the dough inside, and cover.
  7. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden and crusty.
  8. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

For best results, let the dough rise overnight. Use a Dutch oven for the crispiest crust. Add herbs or seeds for variation.
