Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast.

- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
- After the dough has risen and bubbles form on the surface, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Place a Dutch oven with its lid in the oven to heat for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball.
- Let it rest while the Dutch oven heats.
- Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven, place the dough inside, cover it, and bake for 30 minutes.
