Instructions
- Pour the flour, salt, yeast, and water into the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached. Knead for 10-12 minutes to activate the gluten. (see note)
- Remove the kneading hook, cover the dough, and let it rise for 60-90 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 460 degrees F with the dutch oven pot in the oven. Then cut a sheet of parchment paper large enough to fit into the pot and come all the way up and over the sides.
- Add some flour to a work surface. Transfer dough from the bowl to the work surface. Then fold the dough over from the side to the middle with a dough scraper, repeat on all sides. (see note)
- Move the dough carefully onto the center of the parchment paper.
- Carefully remove the dutch oven from your oven (it's hot!)/ Take off the lid and carefully place the dough with the parchment paper into the pot.
- Put the lid on the pot and lower the oven temperature to 430 degrees F. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the bread is golden brown on top
- Remove the pot from the oven and use the parchment paper to help lift the bread out of the dutch oven. Let cool to before slicing.
Notes
- The dough is pretty sticky. Feel free to add some more flour if it sticks too much, but please don't overdo it. The dough is supposed to be sticky and have a high water content. This will make the bread fluffy and stay fresh longer.
- You can also mix this dough in a mixing bowl, and then turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead it by hand.
