• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp active dry yeast

1 ½ tsp sea salt

1 ½ cups warm water (105F)

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour, active dry yeast, and salt

Add the water, and mix until all ingredients are perfectly combined and they form a ball.

Transfer to a greased bowl and cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and a moistened kitchen towel

Let the dough rise in a draft-free place for 18 to 24 hrs. After the 18 to 24 hrs, the dough will look like this:

preheat the oven to 450F and put a dutch oven inside the oven while it preheats. Baking the bread in a preheated dish makes it crunchy

Turn dough into a floured surface

Gently gather the dough into a ball

Carefully place the dough into a preheated dutch oven and bake, covered for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 15 mins more. Remove from the oven and cool in a rack.
