Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- 6qt Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven With lid
Ingredients
- 3 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Quick Rise Instant Yeast
- 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt *Table Salt
- 1 1/2 cups Luke Warm Water *Up to 100°F
Instructions
- Add the flour, yeast, and salt into a large mixing bowl, stir to combine. Create a well in the center, pour water into the center and slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients. The dough should be sticky.
- Cover the bowl with oil-sprayed plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
- After the first 40 minutes, place a 4-6qt Dutch Oven with the lid on, into the oven to preheat to 450°F.
- Sift a thin layer of flour onto a piece of parchment paper and set aside.
- Once the dough has rested for 1 hour, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Dust lightly with flour and then using a bench scraper turn the dough 5-6 times to shape into a ball.
- Place the dough onto the lightly floured parchment paper in the center. Dust the exposed top lightly with flour, and place a new piece of oil-sprayed plastic wrap over the dough. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the Dutch Oven from the oven, remove lid and remove plastic wrap off the dough. Using the four corners of the parchment, pull towards the center and use as a sling to place the parchment and dough into the dutch oven. Lightly spray the top of the loaf with water.
- Place the lid back onto the Dutch Oven, place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid and bake and additional 15 minutes. This will make the crust nice and golden brown.
- Take the dutch oven out of the oven and using the parchment paper, lift the bread out and place onto a wire rack to cool before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
Keep yeast in the refrigerator.
Make sure to use luke warm water, hot water will kill the yeast.
