Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups warm water
  • 3¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons fine grain salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and salt until dissolved.
  2. Gradually add flour to the mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm area for 2-3 hours or until it doubles in size.

  7. Carefully place the dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  8. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
