Crusty, airy artisan bread using simple ingredients and no kneading required, perfect for beginners.
# How to Make:
01 - Whisk together flour, instant yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
02 - Add lukewarm water and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.
03 - Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours until doubled in size and surface bubbles appear.
04 - Lightly flour a work surface and turn dough out. Fold over on itself once or twice and shape loosely into a ball.
05 - Transfer dough seam-side down onto parchment paper, cover with a towel, and let rest for 30 to 60 minutes while preheating the oven.
06 - Place a Dutch oven or heavy lidded pot into the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C) for at least 30 minutes.
07 - Carefully lift dough with parchment paper and place both into the hot pot. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
08 - Remove lid and continue baking for another 15 minutes until crust is golden brown and crisp.
09 - Transfer bread to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.
