A Good Bread Recipe

Step 1

Mix together

    1 lb flour, it's best to weigh it, but that's about 3 cups

    1/4 teaspoon baker's yeast

    1 teaspoon salt

Add 1 1/2 cups water and stir in until dry ingredients are moistened. Don't knead. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest 8 hours or more.

Step 2 (See video)

Oil the sides of a Dutch oven and place parchment paper on the bottom.

Turn out on lightly floured surface and press down to remove some of the air then fold over to make a loaf. Place the loaf in the Dutch oven and allow to rest 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The dough should about double in size. Place the Dutch oven in a cold oven and turn heat to 450°f. Bake about 60 minutes.
