Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups warm water (between 100-115 degrees Fahrenheit)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry active yeast
  • 3 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or 480 grams)

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Slowly mix in the water using a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let sit out overnight at room temperature--or for at least 8 hours.
  • After the dough has risen, turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and with floured hand, shape it into a circle. Let the dough rest while the oven preheats.
  • Place a dutch oven pan, fitted with a lid, into the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F, with the pan in the oven.
  • Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the pan from the oven and drop the shaped bread into the heated pan.
  • Bake the bread covered for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Remove bread from dutch oven and let cool on wire rack for 10-15 minutes before serving.
