written by The Recipe Exchange | October 25, 2019

Ingredients

3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1.5 cups warm water

Directions

In a bowl, stir the flour, salt, yeast and water until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 8-24 hours.

Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and form a ball. (Place on parchment paper if desired.)

Rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place an oven safe baking dish with high sides into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.

Slash an “X” on top of the bread. Carefully transfer to baking dish and cover.

Bake covered 30 minutes. Uncover and bake about 15 more minutes until quite golden brown.

Cool before slicing.
