Equipment

  • Lidded Dutch oven pot or a deep round heavy-duty ceramic baking dish.

Ingredients  

  • 3 ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt (pink if available)
  • 1 ¾cup water, room temperature

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, place the flour, yeast and salt; mix to combine thoroughly. Make a well in the middle and add the water. Using a spatula, slowly add the flour to the water until blended. The dough will be sticky and shaggy (Don't Over Mix). Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest in a room temperature for 12 hours to 18 hours (preferred).
  • The dough is ready when the surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough on it. Sprinkle a little flour on top and gently fold over itself once or twice as you shape it round (don't aim for a perfect round circle). *See note 2.1 - 2.3
  • Cut a parchment paper wide enough and slid into the dough, seam side down. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. *See note 3.1
  • when the dough is ready, place the heavy-duty covered pot in the oven and heat to 450°F for 20 minutes. Transfer the dough to the heated dish, cover it with a lid and bake for 30 minutes; uncover and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes or when the top is beautifully browned. Cool in the rack.

Notes

Parchment paper is not necessary, as long as you sprinkle enough to keep it sticking from the work surface. But parchment paper makes it easier to transfer the dough from the work surface to the hot dish your using.   I've used both heavy-duty lidded cast iron and heavy-duty ceramic deep baking dish and they both worked perfectly. For the ceramic dish, cover it with aluminum foil, then top it with anything (I used a pizza pan) that can withstand the high heat to help it seal so that the steam will not come out.
