No Knead Crusty Bread

Ingredients

3 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 ¾ tsp Sea Salt
½ tsp Rapid Rise Yeast
1 ½ Cups Water

Method

Put the flour, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl and whisk well. Pour in the water, stir, and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a shaggy mixture forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for at least 12 to 18 hours at room temperature.

When ready to bake, pre-heat the oven to 450˚F. Place an enamel coated cast iron pot with a lid in the oven for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile remove the dough and place on a heavily floured work surface. Shape the dough into a ball. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest while the pot is heating.

Remove the pot from the oven. Place the dough into the pot and cover with a lid and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 15 to 25 minutes, or until the bread is nicely brown. Remove the bread from oven and let cool on a rack.
