Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1½ Cup Warm Water
  • 1¾ Tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Active Dry Yeast

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix all your dry ingredients very well together. Once mixed, add in water and slowly stir until well combined. This is a no-knead bread. You should be able to mix all of this together with a spoon, but you can use your hands a little just to make sure all the little bits get mixed in.
  • Cover the bowl and set out for 12-18 hours. If your house is running cold, I suggest placing the covered bowl into the oven. Leave the light on for a little extra heat. (DO NOT TURN ON YOUR OVEN AT THIS POINT.)
  • Preheat your oven to 450°. Place your Dutch Oven in for 30 minutes to heat it. Bake your dough for 30 minutes with the lid on, then another 15 minutes with the lid off. Place on a cooling rack to cool down.
