Mix 6 cups of all-purpose flour, 2-3 teaspoons of salt, and 1 generous teaspoon of yeast in a large bowl until combined.

Add 3 cups of lukewarm water to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Cover the bowl and let it sit for 9 hours.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside.

Flour your hands and turn the dough out onto a floured surface, separating it into halves.

Place half of the dough on parchment paper in the Dutch oven.

Cover with the lid and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the lid and bake for an additional 5 minutes until desired crispiness is achieved.

Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and prepare to bake the second loaf.
