Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
  • Extra flour for dusting

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, yeast, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add warm water: Pour the warm water into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms, ensuring there’s no dry flour remaining.
  3. Cover and ferment: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Set it aside at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours until the dough has doubled in size and is bubbly on the surface.
  4. Prepare the dough for shaping: Turn the risen dough onto a well-floured surface. Gently fold the edges towards the center two or three times to form a loose round shape, then flip it seam-side down.
  5. Rest the dough: Place the shaped dough on a piece of parchment paper and let it rest for 1 to 2 hours, allowing it to puff up slightly.
  6. Preheat the oven: While your dough rests, place a Dutch oven (with the lid) inside the oven and preheat to 450°F for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Bake the bread: Once the oven is preheated, lower the dough into the hot Dutch oven using the parchment paper. Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife, cover it with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Finish baking: After 30 minutes, carefully remove the lid and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the bread turns a deep golden brown.
  9. Cool the bread: Transfer the baked bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
