Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose or bread flour
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
Optional:
Cornmeal or flour for dusting
Herbs, garlic, or seeds for added flavor
Instructions
1. Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Don’t worry if it looks rough—it’s supposed to.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let it sit at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. The dough will rise, bubble, and become soft and sticky.
2. Shape and Rest
Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out and quickly shape it into a ball with floured hands. No kneading—just a quick shaping!
Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and let it rest for about 30–45 minutes while the oven heats.
3. Preheat Your Oven
Place a Dutch oven (or heavy oven-safe pot with lid) in your oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C) for at least 30 minutes. This ensures a hot, steamy environment for baking.
4. Bake
Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven, place the parchment and dough inside, and cover with the lid. Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the lid and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the crust is deeply golden and crisp.
