Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp active yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups water hot
  • 3 cups all purpose flour aerated and more for dusting
  • 1 tsp kosher salt coarse

Instructions
 

  • Add yeast to hot water and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Once the yeast is foamy, add to the flour, salt, and begin to work the mixture into a sticky but firm dough.
  • Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let sit for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°f.
  • Lightly dust a flat dry surface and gently work the dough into a round loaf.
  • Add a large sheet of parchment paper to the Dutch oven and place your dough inside.
  • Cover with the lid and cook at 450°f for 30 minutes.
  • At 30 minutes, remove the lid and cook for 5-10 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Tap the loaf as it should sound like a hollow drum.
  • Let cool before slicing open.
