   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3               cups  all-purpose flour -- (15 oz./475 g)
      1/4          tsp.  active dry yeast
   1 3/4           tsp.  salt
   2               tsp.  chopped fresh rosemary
   2               tsp.  chopped lemon zest
                         Cornmeal -- as needed

This bread is almost effortless to make because it requires no 
kneading. Instead, the dough is allowed to slowly rise over a long 
period of time. Then it is baked in a preheated covered bread pot or 
Dutch oven, which helps produce a crispy, bakery-style crust on the 
finished loaf.

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, rosemary and zest. 
Add 1 5/8 cups (13 fl. oz./410 ml) water and stir until blended; the 
dough will be shaggy and very sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic 
wrap. Let the dough rest at warm room temperature (about 70F/21C) 
until the surface is dotted with bubbles, 12 to 18 hours.

Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle the dough 
with a little flour and fold the dough over onto itself once or 
twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.

Using just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to the work 
surface or your fingers, gently and quickly shape the dough into a 
ball. Generously coat a cotton towel, preferably a flour sack towel 
(not terry cloth), with cornmeal. Put the dough, seam side down, on 
the towel and dust with more flour or cornmeal. Cover with another 
cotton towel and let rise until the dough is more than double in size 
and does not readily spring back when poked with a finger, about 2 hours.

At least 30 minutes before the dough is ready, put a 2 3/4-quart 
(2.75 l) bread pot or Dutch oven in the oven and preheat the oven to 
450F (230C).

Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Slide your hand under the 
towel and turn the dough over, seam side up, into the pot; it may 
look like a mess, but that's okay. Shake the pan once or twice if the 
dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes. If 
desired, using a very sharp knife, cut three shallow parallel slits 
in the top of the dough. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. 
Uncover and continue baking until the loaf is browned, 15 to 30 minutes more.

Transfer the pot to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Using 
oven mitts, turn the pot on its side and gently turn the bread; it 
will release easily.
