Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and instant yeast until well combined.
Add the water and stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky, shaggy dough forms. Do not knead.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise at room temperature for 12–18 hours, until the dough has doubled and has bubbles on the surface.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven with its lid inside while preheating.
Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.
Place the dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown.
Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

For a crispier crust, bake uncovered for a few extra minutes.

Add herbs, seeds, or spices for flavor variations.

Replace up to one-third of the flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier loaf.

This bread freezes well; slice and freeze for easy reheating.

Use room temperature water to help the yeast activate properly.
