Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and instant yeast.
- Pour the warm water into the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let it sit at room temperature for about 12 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F and place a Dutch oven in the oven to heat up.
- Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it, folding it over itself a couple of times.
- Place the shaped dough onto a piece of parchment paper and cover it with a towel. Let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven and lift the parchment paper with the dough into the pot.
- Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Let the bread cool completely before slicing to maintain texture.
