Ingredients
Scale
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon instant yeast
1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and instant yeast.
Add warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
After the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 450°F and place a Dutch oven inside to heat.
Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out, gently folding it over itself a few times.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper and carefully lower it into the hot Dutch oven.
Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes for a golden crust.
Remove from the oven, let cool before slicing, and enjoy!
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding herbs or garlic to the dough.
You can also experiment with different types of flour for variety.
