Ingredients:
- 14.10 oz of all-purpose flour (plus more)
- 1/2 teaspoon of dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1.26 cups or 10.15 oz of water (lukewarm)
Instructions:
Step 1:
Add a little bit of flour into a mixing bowl and the water. Mix well using a fork or spatula.
Step 2:
Next, break the yeast with your hands and add it to the water. Mix it through. Once the yeast has melted, add another handful of flour and continue stirring.
Step 3:
Add a spoonful of salt into the mixture and combine. Continue mixing until the flour has disappeared. It should be wet and sticky.
Step 4:
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest outside the fridge for 6 hours, then in the fridge for about 10 to 12 hours.
Step 5:
Get the bread dough from the fridge and remove it from the bowl. Place into a chopping board or countertop. Dust flour on top until covered and fold the dough to form a circle. Dust the bowl with flour and put the dough inside. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for 2 hours at room temperature.
Step 6:
After 1 hour, preheat your oven to 482 degrees F and place a cast iron pot with a lid inside to warm it up.
Step 7:
Once another hour is up, carefully remove the pot and place the dough inside. Make two light slits on the surface of the bread creating a cross. Place the lid on and place it back in the oven. Bake the bread at 446 degrees F for about 30 minutes.
Step 8:
Remove the lid from the cast iron and leave the bread to cook for another 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
