No-Knead Dutch Oven Bread

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1.5 cups water

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix together flour, salt, and instant yeast in a large glass or ceramic bowl; stir in water until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside at 70 degrees F (21 degrees C) for 12 to 19 hours.

2. 2

   Turn dough out onto a floured cutting board covered with waxed paper. Dough will be sticky. Turn 2 to 3 times so that all sides are well floured. Set aside, covered with waxed paper, until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

3. 3

   Place a Dutch oven in the oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

4. 4

   Carefully remove the preheated Dutch oven, place dough inside, and cover with the lid.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to bake until crust achieves desired color, 10 to 20 minutes more.
