This is a super easy bread to make. Perfect for beginner bakers! No kneading required! If you don't have a cast iron pot with lid (dutch oven) then you can use pyrex with a lid. Whatever you use, just make sure it can take the 450 degree temperature.
Ingredients-
3 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 tsp of instant or rapid rise yeast
1 3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup water

To your 3 cups of flour add your yeast and salt. If you don't have instant or rapid rise yeast, only regular active yeast, then proof the yeast before you use it by mixing the yeast with 1/4 cup warm water.  Add to your dry ingredients. Then stir in the 1 1/2 cup of water. Don't over stir. You just want all the dry combined with wet until the dough is sticky/shaggy. Keep the dough in the same bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave it sit on the counter for 12-18 hours. If you only have 11 hrs or you don't get to it for 24 hrs, that's ok. It's a very forgiving recipe. After the waiting period, preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Once heated, put your pot with lid into the oven and let it heat up for 30 minutes. While it's heating, pour your dough out onto a heavily floured surface (flour your hands as well). Shape the dough into a ball making sure the outer surface is completely covered in flour. Put it back in the bowl and recover with plastic wrap until the pot is ready. Once the pot is heated put the dough in the pot and replace the lid. Bake for 30 mins. After 30 mins remove the lid and continue cooking for 15 more mins. Once it's done remove bread to a cooling rack.
You can all sorts of extras like garlic, rosemary, raisins or cranberries, cinnamon, etc... Enjoy and thanks for watching!!
