Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 3/4 cups warm water
  • Butter (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
  2. Add the warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for about 12-18 hours.
  4. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

Notes

For best results, allow the dough to rise for a long time to enhance flavor and texture. Preheat the Dutch oven to ensure a crispy crust.
