This recipe is so easy, it only requires waiting overnight. Anyone can make it.<\/p>\n
Using a 2-cup glass measuring cup, measure the\u00a01 1\/2 C<\/strong>\u00a0warm water<\/strong>\u00a0and get it to the correct temperature using a thermometer, between 105 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Add\u00a01\/2 tsp yeast<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a01 Tbs sugar,<\/strong>\u00a0mixing with a small whisk and cover in the measuring cup with a cheese cloth or dish cloth and let it proof (foam) for 5 minutes. If it doesn\u2019t foam, dump it out and try again.<\/p>\n Its all about the ingredients and the timing. I tried a few different flours before selecting a Tipo “00” flour from Italy. You can get it from Amazon (naturally). It really does make a big difference in the texture of the dough. Once your yeast has proofed, pour the mixture in your mixing bowl and add\u00a03 1\/4<\/span>\u00a0cups<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>flour<\/strong> and\u00a0<\/span>1 1\/2 \u2013 2\u00a0<\/span>tsp<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>kosher salt<\/strong> and stir with a wooden spoon until good and sticky and form it into a ball.<\/span><\/p>\n Gently place the dough ball into a large greased bowl and cover with saran wrap. Place it out of the way in an area that is at room-temperature.<\/p>\n Let the dough rise for 12-18 hours,<\/strong> until the dough is covered in bubbles and is twice the size.<\/p>\n When you are ready to make the bread, preheat your oven to 450 degrees<\/strong> and put your dutch oven or use the inside of your crock pot or a heavy oven-safe ceramic dish in the oven to heat up.<\/p>\n Flour your countertop and move your dough to the surface and pull the edges of your dough into the center, repeating a few times to form a nice, smooth round ball.<\/p>\n Place the dough on a large square of parchment paper, then dust with flour and let it rest for 15 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Then, use a sharp knife to score an X-shape or three lines into the top of the dough<\/strong>. (The cuts should be shallow and just a few inches long.) Then sprinkle the top of the dough lightly with water.<\/strong><\/p>\n Remove your preheated dish from the oven and place the parchment paper and dough inside. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n After 30 minutes, remove the foil<\/strong>\u00a0and bake your bread for an additional 8-15 minutes. You want the top to be nice a dark, but not burnt. Remove from the oven and transfer your bread to a cooling rack.<\/p>\n Allow to cool for 30 minutes before slicing.<\/p>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n
