Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water 105 degrees F
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup flour for cutting board
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl add warm water and active dry yeast. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl add 3 cups flour, salt, and parmesan cheese
- Pour in yeast/water mixture and mix with a large spoon.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let sit out at room temperature for 18-24 hours.
- When ready to bake the bread preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a 3-quart dutch oven (cast iron) with the lid on in the oven and bring it up to 450 degrees.
- On a large cutting board sprinkle about ¼ cup flour.
- Place the dough on the cutting board and flip over to coat with flour and shape into a ball.
- Place dough in the preheated HOT dutch oven and cover with the lid.
- Place the dutch oven back in the oven and cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 15 minutes, or until the top of the bread is golden and crusty.
- Remove bread from hot dutch oven and let cool.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
TIPS:
- The dough will be sticky, unlike regular kneaded dough.
- Preheating the dutch oven ensures that the bread will not stick to the bottom or sides of the dutch oven.
- This recipe calls for a smaller dutch oven, a 3 quart. It can also be made in a regular-sized dutch oven as well. It will spread out more and be flatter, vs taller in the smaller one
