Ingredients
- Salt
- Sugar
- Water
- Flour
- Warm water
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast, then pour in the warm water.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until completely combined.
- This is a no knead recipe so the dough will not be smooth.
- Once combined, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it sit on the counter overnight.
- When the dough is done rising, preheat the oven to 450 degrees with a dutch oven inside, without the lid.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape into a round ball.
- Allow the dough to rest while you preheat the oven and the pot. The pot needs to heat for 30 minutes.
- After the dutch oven has preheated, line the bottom with parchment paper and place ball of dough in the center of the dutch oven and cover with the lid.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until done.
- Bread will be golden in color.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing or tear the bread if you want to eat it hot.
