Difficulty
Medium
- 375g all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp instant dry yeast
- 1¼ tsp fine salt
- 385 ml drinking water at room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and yeast.
- Add the water and stir with a wooden spoon until you get a sticky dough.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 18 to 21 hours at room temperature (21°C).
- The dough is ready when the surface becomes bubbly.
- Flour your work surface, then pour the dough onto it.
- Flour your hands and the top of the dough, then fold the dough over itself twice. It will be sticky, so work quickly.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.
- With floured hands, shape the dough into a ball and place it on a floured towel.
- Slip the dough with the towel into a bowl and cover with another towel. Let rise for 2 hours, until the dough doubles in size.
- Thirty minutes before the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 250°C and place a Dutch oven in the oven to preheat as well.
- When the dough is ready, remove the top towel and carefully turn the dough into the preheated Dutch oven. Cover with the lid and bake.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 15 minutes, until the bread turns a nice golden color.
- Let cool completely before serving.
