No-Knead Bread

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups bread flour
  • ¼ teaspoon instant yeast I used active dry SAF yeast and worked great!
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups warm water 70-80 degrees
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for greasing the bowl

Instructions
 

  • Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl with a wooden spoon until they come together. It will not be a cohesive dough. It will actually be pretty messy looking. Transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic and let sit for 12-24 hours on the countertop.
  • After the waiting period, the dough will be wet and bubbly.
  • Dump the dough onto a floured surface.
  • With a wet spatula or wet hands, shape the dough into a ball.
  • Set the dough ball onto a well-floured piece of parchment that was already cut to fit the inside of your dutch oven pot. Lay the parchment in a bowl, cover with plastic and rest for two hours at room temperature. (or I used oven proofing setting.) It should double in size.
  • Preheat oven to 450 and place le creuset dutch oven in to preheat.
  • Once dough has risen, transfer parchment and dough into pot and bake 30 minutes covered.
  • Uncover and bake another 15 mins.
  • Cool on a rack!
