Directions: |
Directions:In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, salt and yeast. Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12-18 hours. (Overnight works great)
Heat oven to 450º
When the oven has reached 450º place large pan with lid that can withstand 450 (cast iron dutch oven works great!) in the oven, empty, for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour dough onto a heavily floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit while pan is heating. Remove hot pan from the oven and drop in the dough making sure it lands in the middle and does not stick to sides of pan. Cover and return to the oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove cover and bake another 15 minutes making sure the top doesn't get too done. Remove and cool on baking rack. |
