Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and yeast.
  • Gradually add water and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  • Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a Dutch oven in the oven to heat up.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and place it on a floured surface.
  • Carefully place the dough into the preheated Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 minutes.

Notes

For an extra crispy crust, let the bread cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
