Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • cups warm water
  • ½ teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, stir together all four ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 8 to 24 hours.
  • After resting, the dough will be bubbly and sticky.
  • Generously flour a work surface and gently turn the dough out onto it.
  • With floured hands, shape the dough into a ball by folding the edges toward the center.
  • Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and let it rest while the oven preheats.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a Dutch oven, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
  • Once preheated, carefully transfer the dough (with parchment paper) into the Dutch oven.
  • Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
