Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
• Add the warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 4 hours.
• Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a skillet or Dutch oven inside to heat.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.
• Carefully place the dough into the preheated skillet or Dutch oven.
• Bake for 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
• Let the bread cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
