📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Pour in the warm water and stir it all together with a wooden spoon. Once it comes together, loosely shape the dough into a ball right there in the bowl.
2
Cover it and let it rest for an hour so the water has time to hydrate the dough.
3
Now for the stretch and fold. Grab one side of the dough, gently pull it up, and then fold it over the top. Give the bowl a quarter turn and repeat the stretch and fold. Do this about four times around the dough. Come back and do the same stretch and fold every ⏱️ 30 minutes for a total of three rounds. Then, cover the dough again and let it rise until it’s doubled in size, about ⏱️ 3 hours.
4
While the dough is finishing its rise, preheat your oven to 500°F and put your Dutch oven inside to heat up.
5
When you’re ready to bake, shape the dough into a loaf and place it on a piece of parchment paper. Carefully lower the dough (with the parchment paper) into the hot Dutch oven. Use your oven mitts to cover with the lid and bake for ⏱️ 20 minutes.
6
After ⏱️ 20 minutes, drop the oven temp to 475°F, take the lid off, and bake for another ⏱️ 15 minutes to finish.
7
Once it’s done, carefully lift the bread out using the edges of the parchment paper and transfer it to a cooling rack. Let it cool completely before slicing.
