Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 ½ cups warm water 105 degrees F
Method
- Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine
- Add the water and mix until the dough forms a ball
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (sprayed with cooking spray) and a damp tea towel
- Let dough sit covered at room temperature for 18-24 hours
- After 24 hours (or at least 1 hour before you want to serve) preheat the oven to 450 degrees F
- Place a 2 3/4 quart dutch oven or a baking dish with a lid in the oven while it is preheating
- While oven is preheating, transfer the dough from the bowl onto a floured surface
- Form the dough into a ball, adding a few TBS more flour if needed
- The dough should still be slightly loose
- Then cover it with a floured towel while the oven is preheating
- Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven
- Remove the lid and spray the dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper
- Gently put the dough ball into the baking dish so it’s evenly distributed
- Cover and bake for 30 minutes
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown
- Remove the loaf from the baking dish and let it cool on a rack before slicing
- To keep it warm, cover with a tea towel
