Original Recipe from The Comfort of Cooking.

I love this bread! I usually mix it up before I go to bed and then bake it the next day whenever I feel like eating it. :)

Ingredients:

• 3 c flour (at least 1 1/2 c white)
• 1/2 t yeast
• 1 1/2 t salt
• 1 1/2 c warm water

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk dry ingredients. Mix in warm water. Dough will be very tacky. Cover and let sit at room temp for 8-24 hours.
2. When ready to bake, place dutch oven with lid inside the oven. Preheat to 435 F (original recipe calls for 450 F, but I found this made the bottom too crusty).
3. While oven preheats, dump dough onto a well-floured surface. With floured hands, fold into a loose ball, tucking seams under. Place dough ball on a square of parchment paper.When oven is heated, remove pan. Using the parchment paper, lift and lower dough into dutch oven and cover with lid or tinfoil.
4. Bake covered for 30 min. Remove lid and bake an additional 7-15 min or until desired crust forms. 
5. Cut in long slices or torn apart, this bread is deliciously moist and tasty! Enjoy with your favorite soup.
