Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water and stir using a wooden spoon or spatula until you have a shaggy dough. The goal isn’t perfection in texture but rather ensuring all ingredients are combined.
First Rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let it sit at room temperature, away from drafts, for 12-18 hours. This slow rise is crucial for developing flavor and texture without the need for kneading.
Shape the Dough: After the rise, the dough will be bubbly and doubled in size. Place it on a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a ball. Don’t worry about getting it perfectly smooth; a rustic look is part of its charm.
Preheat the Oven and Dutch Oven: Place a Dutch oven with its lid in your oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C). The pot mimics a professional baker’s oven, trapping steam and giving the bread a crispy crust.
