Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups bread flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon yeast (active dry or instant)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1.5 cups warm water
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, salt, and water until shaggy and well combined.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
- Once risen, dump the dough onto a floured surface and fold it over itself a few times.

- Preheat your oven and a heavy pot (like a Dutch oven) while the dough is rising.
- Lift the dough and parchment into the hot pot, cover, and bake.
