Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 3 cups warm water
  • 1 teaspoon yeast
  • 7 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Instruction

  • Add water to a large bowl of electric mixer.
  • Sprinkle yeast on top
  • With mixer running, slowly add flour and salt.
  • Mix until well combined. This will be a wet, sticky dough.
  • Transfer to a very large food safe container, cover with plastic wrap. This dough will more than double in size.
  • Place in a cool area overnight. You can use the dough after a few hours or let sit for several days.
  • When ready to use, place a large piece of parchment paper on the counter. Lightly spray parchment paper. Plop dough onto paper.
  • With wet hands, to prevent sticking, form into a rough rectangle. Gently fold one side over to the middle. Fold each side into the middle forming a package.
  • Carefully, but quickly, flip dough over so the seems are on the bottom.
  • Cover loosely with a lightly sprayed piece of plastic wrap.
  • Meanwhile, place a dutch oven with lid into the oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Heat dutch oven for at least 30 minutes in oven.
  • When dough has risen (about 30 minutes), open oven door, slide out oven rack and carefully open lid.
  • Grab all four corners of parchment paper and carry to the oven and place in dutch oven. Replace lid.
  • Cook for 40 minutes.
  • Remove lid and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Cool on a baking rack until completely cooled. Slice and enjoy!
