Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon yeast
- 1.5 cups warm water
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, stir the flour, salt, yeast and water until combined. The dough should look dry and shaggy – if it looks wet and sticky instead stir in an additional 1/4 cup of flour. Cover with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 8-24 hours.
- Shape Dough: Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and form a ball. (Place on parchment paper if desired.)
- Rest Dough: Rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place an oven safe baking dish with high sides into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
- Prepare for Baking: Slash an “X” on top of the bread. Carefully transfer to baking dish and cover. (If using parchment paper, you can pick up the edges of the paper and transfer the dough and the paper together into the baking dish.)
- Bake Bread: Bake covered 30 minutes. Uncover and bake about 15 more minutes until quite golden brown.
- Cool Bread: Cool before slicing.
Notes
- If the dough looks wet and sticky after combining, stir in an additional 1/4 cup of flour.
- Use parchment paper for easier transfer to the baking dish if desired.
