Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1.5 cups warm water Around 100°F (38°C) is ideal.
Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and instant yeast.
- Gradually add warm water, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature for about 12-18 hours, or until the surface is bubbly.
- After the dough has risen, sprinkle some flour on a clean surface and gently turn the dough out.
- Using floured hands, fold the dough over onto itself a few times to shape it into a rough rectangle.
- Let it rest for another 30 minutes, covered with a towel.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a baking stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
- Carefully transfer the dough onto parchment paper, then slide it onto the hot baking stone or sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
