Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (395 grams) all-purpose or bread flour
  • ½ tablespoon kosher salt
  • ¼ ounce instant or active dry yeast (or 2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • 1 ½ cups warm water (105°F)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast until well mixed.
  2. Pour warm water over the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined—the dough should be sticky but manageable.
  3. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 2 to 10 hours, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
  4. Once risen, wet your hands, turn out the dough onto a floured surface, and shape it into a round loaf or divide it into two smaller loaves.
  5. Place shaped dough on parchment paper, dust with flour, score the top with a knife, and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 450°F with a baking stone or Dutch oven inside.
  7. Transfer the dough (on parchment) into the hot oven; add steam for a crustier loaf by placing hot water or ice cubes in the oven.
  8. Bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
