Ingredients

3 cups of all purpose flour (I use organic as I prefer to make organic bread)
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 teaspoon of Instant yeast
1 1/2 cups of room temperature water

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and yeast
Add water and using spatula, mix together until combined
Cover with plastic foil and let it rise for 12-18 hours
After at least 12 hours, heat up the oven to 450F
When the oven has reached this temperature, place covered empty dutch oven into the oven and let it heat for half an hour
In the meantime, pour the dough onto a surface covered with flour
Using a vegetable scooper, turn the dough few times and form a ball
Place parchment paper onto your surface and then place your dough ball on top, cover with plastic foil and let it rest until the pot is hot
After the pot has been in the oven for half an hour, take it out and place the bread with parchment paper inside, cover with lid and bake for half an hour
After half an hour, take off the lid and bake for another 15-20 minutes
Remove from the oven and let it rest before cutting
