Ingredients

1 1/2 cups lukewarm water (105-110°F)

1 (1/4 oz) packet rapid rise yeast ((equal to 2 1/4 tsp))

1 tsp sugar

4 cups all purpose or bread flour

1 tsp salt

Method

In a measuring cup or bowl, mix together water, sugar and yeast. Set aside for 10 minutes until foamy.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, sift together flour and salt.

Make a well in the center of the flour and add yeast mixture. Turn on medium, knead for 5 minutes until pulled away from the sides of the bowl and elastic.

Oil the bowl and dough, turning to coat. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 4 hours in a warm, draft free place.

Punch down dough to release air. Fold dough from edges to the center pinch together. Shape into a ball and return to the bowl smooth side up. Cover and let rise 2-3 hours.

Gently stretch the dough into a round loaf pinching the seams of the dough together underneath. (There's no need to punch the dough down this step.} Dust the top with a small amount of flour. Return to bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour.

30 minutes into the final rise, place dutch oven into the oven with the lid in place while it preheats to 425°F. Leave in oven for 30 minutes.

Use oven mitts to remove from oven. Set on a heat proof trivet.

Remove dough from bowl and place onto a piece of parchment paper. Lift dough with paper, placing into the Dutch oven. Cut 3 slits or an X on top using a sharp knife.

Bake for 30 minutes with lid in place. Remove lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden.

Remove using parchment paper, rest for 20 minutes then slice and enjoy.
