In a large bowl, stir together 3 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of yeast.

Add 1.5 cups of warm water and mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 8 to 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a Dutch oven uncovered inside to heat for 30 minutes.

Flour your hands and surface, then grab the dough and shape it into a ball.

Place the dough back in the bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let it rise while the Dutch oven heats for an additional 30 minutes.

Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven, optionally place parchment paper under the dough, and transfer the dough into the Dutch oven.

Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, carefully remove the cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes or more until golden brown.

Inspect the bread to ensure it's golden on top, then remove it from the Dutch oven and enjoy.
