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.
