Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp instant yeast, and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Stir well to distribute the yeast and salt evenly.
  2. Step 2: Pour 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F) into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix until a sticky, shaggy dough forms, about 1-2 minutes. No kneading required.
  3. Step 3: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the dough to relax.
  4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a heavy-duty covered Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with lid into the oven to heat for 30 minutes.
  5. Step 5: While the oven preheats, lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Fold the dough over itself 2-3 times to shape it into a round loaf.
  6. Step 6: Remove the hot Dutch oven carefully from the oven and grease it lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil. Place the shaped dough inside, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Remove the lid and bake an additional 15 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and crisp. Let cool completely on a rack before slicing.
