Equipment

  • 5 quart dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Active Dry Yeast or 2.25 teaspoons yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water about 100 degrees water
  • 3 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, using a whisk mix together the warm water, yeast, and table salt, until yeast and salt are fully or almost dissolved.
  • Add the flour to the bowl all at once and stir together with a fork until a sticky dough forms. Don't worry about mixing it too much, just make sure everything is uniformly wet.
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towelLeave it for 2-3 hours to rise in a somewhat warm place. If your oven is warm, place covered on top of the oven or I like to use the top of the refrigerator.
  • Once the dough has risen and doubled in size, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place your dutch oven in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. You want the dutch oven heated up prior to placing the dough inside.
  • Scrape the dough into the edge of a piece of parchment paper dusted with flour. Make it into as much of a "loaf" shape as you can by folding the edges up on top of it. DO NOT knead the dough, just fold the sides in to form your shape.
  • Use the edges of the parchment paper to flip the loaf over so the floured side is on top and the loaf is in the center of the parchment paper.
  • Use a knife to cut a few slits across the top of the loaf about 1/2" deep, across the entire top.
  • Take out the preheated Dutch oven and take off the lid. Grab the parchment from the sides and place the loaf in your Dutch oven.
  • Place the lid back on the Dutch oven and place in the preheated oven on the center rack. Bake for 35 minutes at 450 degrees F. Remove the lid and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until a golden brown color forms- longer if necessary. Remove the loaf from the dutch oven by grabbing the parchment paper by the corners and place it on a wire rack or cutting board to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing
