Pour 4 cups of flour into a large bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the flour.

Add 1 package of yeast (or equivalent from a jar) to the mixture.

Pour in 1.5 cups of warm water.

Mix the ingredients together until a rough and shaggy dough forms, using a spoon or a bread tool.

Cover the bowl and let it rest in a warm area for 12 to 24 hours.

After resting, flour your work surface and dump the dough out onto it.

Form the dough into a ball without adding more flour.

Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper.

Let the dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat your Dutch oven to 450°F (232°C) without any oil.

After 30 minutes, carefully place the dough into the hot Dutch oven and cover it with the lid.

Bake the bread at 450°F for 30 minutes with the lid on.

Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
