-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups bread flour -- plus
2 TBSP bread flour -- for dusting
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups water -- room temp
The golden brown crust is delicious and crispy, and the crumbs are=20
light and airy. Best of all, there is no kneading, and no need for a mixer!
Yields: One 8" round loaf
Preheated 450F oven
Prep: 5 min
Rest time for dough: 12-18 hrs
Bake: 42-48 min
You will need a 3 1/2 to 4 Quart size Dutch oven, or a similar heavy=20
pot with a secure lid
Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl and combine well with a whisk.
Make a well in the middle of the flour mix and add the water. Use a=20
heavy spoon to stir and mix the ingredients only for a few minutes.=20
Stop stirring when you have a very sticky dough, without any trace of=20
dry flour. Do not over mix.
Cover the bowl with a cling wrap and leave it on the kitchen counter=20
for 12-18 hours at room temperature. At the end of this time the=20
dough will be well risen and very sticky.
Cover the small Dutch oven with the lid and place it on the center=20
rack of the oven and preheat to 450F.
Using mittens transfer the heated Dutch oven to a heatproof surface=20
and remove the lid.
Flour the palms of your hands and sprinkle a little flour on top of=20
the risen dough. Use your floured fingertips to pull the dough away=20
from the sides and bottom of the bowl, and roughly form it into a=20
ball, then gently drop it in the preheated pot.
Cover the pot and return it back to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minu=
tes.
Remove the lid and continue baking the bread for another 12-18=20
minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Remove the bread from the pot and use a pastry brush to dust off the=20
excess flour from the bottom of the bread. At this point the bread=20
sounds hollow and is very light.
Allow the bread to cool on a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes or longer=20
for the best texture.
