Extra flour for dusting
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast.

3. Cover the bowl and let it rest at room temperature for 12–18 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat.
5. Transfer dough onto a floured surface and shape gently into a ball.
6. Place dough onto parchment paper.

Notes
Do not skip resting time—it develops flavor and texture.
Handle dough gently to keep air bubbles.
Use a sharp knife to score the top for a bakery look.
Store at room temperature up to 2 days.
