In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.

Add the lukewarm water to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a cocotte (Dutch oven) inside to heat up.

Once the dough has risen, carefully remove the hot cocotte from the oven and grease it with softened unsalted butter.

Transfer the dough into the hot cocotte, cover it, and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the bread is golden brown.
