Ingredients
- 3 C all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. instant yeast
- 1 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 5/8 C water
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir in water until well blended.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise for at least 12 hours (16-18 hours is better). To make this easy and to avoid having to use a new piece of plastic wrap each time, I cover the bowl with a plastic shower cap.
- Next, place the dough on a generously floured work surface, sprinkle with flour, and fold it in on top of itself two to three times.
- Turn the bowl you were using at first upside down over the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, shape the dough into a ball.
- Coat a smooth cotton towel with flour and put the ball seam side down, dusting the top with more flour.
- Fold sides of towel over top of ball and let rise for 2 hours.
- The dough should double in size.
- 30 minutes before the dough is ready, heat oven to 450 degrees and put a 6 to 8 quart heavy pot with a cover (pyrex, cast iron, enamel or ceramic work best) in to heat.
- Remove the pot from the oven and dump the dough ball seam side up into the pan.
- Cover the pot and bake for 30 minutes.
- Then remove the lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes or until the loaf is nicely browned.
- Remove from oven and cool on rack.
