Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast. Add the water and mix enough until it’s fully combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12-18 hours. (Overnight works great.) 
  • In the morning, preheat the oven to 450˚F. As soon as the oven has reached 450˚F place a cast iron pot or a round casserole dish with a lid in the oven and heat the pot for 30 minutes.  
  • Meanwhile, pour dough onto a heavily floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover the ball with plastic wrap and set aside while waiting for the pot to heat.  
  • Remove hot pot from the oven and drop the dough right in. Cover with the lid, and return to oven for 30 minutes.  
  • After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
