CRUSTY BREAD


3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1 1/2 cups water

How to make it :

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 450 degrees. When the oven has reached 450 degrees place a cast iron pot
with a lid in the oven and heat the pot for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pour dough onto a heavily
floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let set while the pot is
heating. Remove hot pot from the oven and drop in the dough. Cover and return to oven for 30
minutes. After 30 minutes remove the lid and bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove bread from
oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
