Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Silicone spatula
  • parchment paper
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups warm water (about 100 degrees F)
  • 1 packet yeast (active dry, instant, or quick rise- 2.25 teaspoons)
  • 1.5 teaspoons fine grain salt (preferably NOT iodized)
  • 3.25 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour, plus more for dusting)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix together the warm water, yeast, and fine grain salt until dissolved.
  • Add the all-purpose flour to the bowl all at once and stir together until a sticky dough forms.
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and leave it to rise for 2-3 hours until doubled.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F, placing the Dutch oven inside with the lid ON while the oven preheats.
  • Scrape the dough onto a piece of parchment paper dusted with flour and shape it into a loaf.
  • Using parchment paper, flip the loaf so the floured side is up.
  • Cut slits across the top of the loaf if desired.
  • Remove the preheated Dutch oven lid carefully and place the loaf inside.
  • Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, removing the lid for the last 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Store leftover dough in the fridge for enhanced flavor, leaving the lid ajar. It can last up to 7 days.
