Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt and yeast. Add the water and using a wooden spoon stir together until the mixture resembles a shaggy dough.

After dough is ready, preheat oven to 450 F.

While dough is resting, put your dutch oven into the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

After the 30 minutes are up carefully remove the dutch oven and with floured hands place the bread dough into it. (You can put a piece of parchment under it if your dutch oven doesn't have an enamel coating.)

Replace the cover and bake for 30 minutes covered. Then remove the cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes uncovered. Bread will be golden, crusty and delicious!

Let the dough rest 1-2 hours before cutting
