Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (395 grams) all-purpose flour or bread flour
  • ½ tablespoon kosher salt
  • ¼ ounce instant or active dry yeast packet (or 2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • 1 ½ cups warm water (105°F)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Pour warm water over the dry mixture and stir until combined; the dough will be sticky.
  3. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 2 to 10 hours (overnight is ideal).
  4. Wet your hands and gently turn the dough onto a floured surface. Fold edges into the center to form a round loaf.
  5. Place the shaped dough on parchment paper, dust with flour, and score the top with a bread knife.
  6. Preheat your oven to 450°F with your baking stone or Dutch oven inside.
  7. Slide the dough (with parchment) onto the hot surface in your oven and add hot water or ice cubes for steam.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before slicing.
