Ingredients:  
3 1/4 C (420g) Bread Flour
2 tsp Instant Yeast
2 tsp Course Salt
1 1/2 C (360ml) Cool Water

Directions:
Whisk flour, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl. Pour in the cool water and gently mix together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. The dough will seem dry and shaggy, but keep working it until all the flour has been moistened. You could also use your hands at this point but I find it really isn’t necessary. Shape the dough into a ball in your bowl as best you can. The dough will be pretty sticky.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and set on counter for 2-3 hours. The dough should double in size, stick to the sides of the bowl, and have lots of air bubbles. For best flavor and texture, place the dough in fridge for 18-24 hours. Then turn the dough onto a floured surface and using floured hands shape dough into a ball. Transfer onto parchment that is safe under high heat. Using a bread lame or a very sharp knife, gently score an X on the top. Cover with plastic wrap and rest dough for 30 minutes. Pre-heat oven to a very hot 475º. Place a Dutch oven, with top, inside hot oven to heat up for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes take out the Dutch oven and carefully place the dough inside using the parchment to place it inside the pot. Place the lid on top and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove lid and bake for 5-10 minutes more. Bread should be golden brown with a firm crust. Using parchment, remove bread from pot and cool on counter.
