Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ tablespoon kosher salt
  • ¼ ounce instant or active dry yeast (or 2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • 1 ½ cups warm water (105°F)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Pour warm water over the mixture and stir until combined; the dough should be sticky yet manageable.
  3. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise at room temperature for 2 to 10 hours (overnight is best).
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape it into a round loaf or divide into two smaller loaves.
  5. Place on parchment paper, dust with flour, score the top, and let rest for an additional 20-30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 450°F with a baking stone or Dutch oven inside.
  7. Transfer dough onto the hot surface using parchment paper; add steam by placing hot water or ice cubes in the oven.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
