Ingredients
Steps
In a large bowl, mix 3 cups of flour, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of yeast.
Add 1.5 cups of warm water and stir with a spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms. No kneading is required.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has roughly doubled in volume (approx. 2-3 hours).
Preheat the oven to 230°C (450 °F) (450°F (230 °C)). If available, preheat a cast-iron pot (Dutch oven) in the oven during the preheating process.
Carefully place the dough onto a floured surface, shape it briefly, and place it into the hot pot or onto a baking sheet.
Bake the bread for about 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
This recipe requires no kneading. The long rising time provides the structure and flavor. Ideal as a side dish for steak, pasta, or salad.
