Dutch Oven Bread

In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir until the yeast is dissolved and allow to sit for 5 minutes.

Step 1

Add the all-purpose flour and salt; stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky, shaggy dough forms into a ball.

Step 2

Cover the bowl loosely with a kitchen towel or oiled plastic wrap. Let the dough sit at room temperature for about 8-12 hours.

STEP 3

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently shape it into a round loaf on a piece of parchment paper.
