Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- Add warm water to the flour mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest at room temperature for about 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven or heavy lidded pot in the oven to heat up.
- Carefully place the dough into the hot pot, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
