Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups of all purpose flour
  • 1½ cups bread flour
  • 1 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1½ cups of warm water (between 110 and 115 degrees)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and yeast together.
  2. Add the warm water and stir together with a wooden spoon. The dough will be sticky and shaggy.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for at least 8 hours and no more than 18 hours.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven and dutch oven at 450 degrees.
  5. Place the dough onto a well floured counter and punch down.
  6. Shape the dough into a round ball, dust the top with flour, and cover with plastic wrap.
  7. Allow the dough to relax for 30 minutes.
  8. When the dough has rested, place it into the hot dutch oven (be careful!) and cover.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the cover and bake another 10 - 15 minutes until a nice golden brown.
  10. Remove the dutch oven and dump the bread to cool on a wire rack.
Notes
In the Girl Versus Dough recipe, she uses parchment to keep the bread from sticking to the countertop and dutch oven. I had no issues having the loaf release with my well seasoned cast iron dutch oven. So be advised that using parchment paper would guarantee the baked loaf releases!
