No Knead Dutch Oven Crusty Bread
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups water (room temperature)
In a big bowl, mix flour, salt and yeast together. Pour water into the bowl and using a spatula mix it until its all incorporated. (I added an extra Tblsp of water until it all came together). Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit on your counter for 12-18 hours in a warm kitchen. Preheat oven to 450. Add your cast iron pot to the oven and heat it as well until its 450 degrees.
Remove pot from the oven and remove lid from pot. Flour your working surface and flour your hands. Gently remove dough from bowl and form into a ball. Take the ball of dough and drop it into the pot. Cover the pot with th elid and place it back in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, after which remove the lid and bake for another 10-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool. EnJOY!
