INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine all ingredients to a large bowl and stir well; making sure all flour is mixed in thoroughly. Your dough will double in size, so make sure you choose a large enough bowl.
- Cover your dough with aluminum foil (or plastic wrap) and let sit for 3 hours. Once complete, your dough will be sticky with small bubbles everywhere.
- Spray your dutch oven with nonstick spray or a little melted butter. Trust me, this is a life saver.
- Add dough to dutch oven and bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes with the lid on.
- Bake an additional 10 minutes with no lid.
* Tip: My family goes through a lot of bread! If you're planning on freezing a loaf for later, make sure it cools completely. Otherwise it tends to thaw with a gummy texture.
