• 3 c bread flour<\/li>
• 1\/4 t instant yeast (or 1\/3 t regular yeast)<\/li>
• 1-1\/4 t salt<\/li>
• 1-1\/3 c warm water<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  In medium bowl, stir together flour, salt & yeast. Add the water & mix w\/ your hands until you have a wet, sticky dough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Cover the bowl with plastic wrap & let sit at room temperature between 12-18 hours. (I mix mine in the morning & then bake it the morning of the next day.) This slow fermentation is the key to the awesome flavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  After 1st fermentation, generously dust a work surface w\/ flour. Use a rubber spatula to scrape dough onto your work surface. It will be super loose & sticky, but DO NOT add more flour. Flour your hands & gently lift edges of dough in towards enter to make it round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Place a cotton or linen tea towel onto a cookie sheet & generously rub flour into the cloth. Gently lift the dough onto the towel, seam-side down. Dust top of dough w\/ more flour & cover w\/ plastic wrap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Let dough rise in a warm, draft free spot another 1-2 hours until it is almost doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Half an hour before end of 2nd rise, preheat the oven to 475 deg with a rack in lower 1\/3 position. Place a covered 4- to 5-quart heavy pot in the center of the oven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  At end of 2nd rise, carefully remove preheated pot from oven & uncover it. Remove plastic wrap from top of dough. Gather up ends of tea towel & gently flip dough into pot, sem-side up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Cover pot & bake for 30 min. Remove lid & continue baking until bread is a deep chestnut color, another 15-30 min more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  When finished baking turn bread onto a wire rack to cool. Here’s the hard part! Don’t slice into it until it has fully cooled – about 1 hour. After that…I dare you to not eat the whole darn thing!! Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
