Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups bread flour (you could probably use regular too)
  • 1/4 tsp dry yeast rapid rise
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 5/8 warm water

Instructions
 

  • In a large glass bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Stir in the warm water with a wooden spoon. Combine until the dough can form a messy ball.
  • Cover with saran wrap and let sit and get happy for 12 -18 hours (overnight is great)
  • Lightly flour your hands and turn dough onto itself a few times. Cover with wrap again 15 min.
  • On a lightly floured cotton towel (an old pillow case is fabulous) place bread in ball shape on the towel...sprinkle with flour and cover the towel onto the bread. Sit for 2 hours. (Don’t use terrycloth)
  • Heat oven 450 and place cast iron Dutch oven inside. Heat it for 30 minutes.
  • Flip dough ball into the hot Dutch oven (it will look messy...all is well though)
  • Cover and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake 20 minutes.
