Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and instant yeast.
- Gradually stir in the warm water until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and let it sit at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
Shaping and Second Rise
- Dust a floured surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently shape it into a round ball.
- Place the dough ball on a piece of parchment paper and let it rise for about an hour.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place your Dutch oven inside to heat up.
- Carefully transfer the dough (with the parchment paper) into the hot pot and cover it with the lid.
- Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes
For deeper flavor, use bread flour instead of all-purpose. Watch the water temperature to ensure it is not too hot. Experiment with adding herbs or cheese to the dough.
