3 C White Flour
1 t Salt
1/2 t (heaping) Yeast
1 1/2 c Warm Water
Using just a wooden spoon mix just until mixed. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temp 6-24 hours. It will get all bubbly. 90 minutes before you want to serve it turn dough out on a well floured surface. Using a bread scraper fold the sides into the middle. Do this several times until dough is not sticky. Form into a ball (or loaf if you don't have a ceramic pot with a lid). Let it raise 30 min. Preheat oven and pan to 450 degrees. You can use a dutch oven, crock from a crock pot, bread pan, casserole dish or anything that has high sides and is oven safe.
After dough has rested and the oven and pan have reached the correct temp, use a knife to cut a slash in the top of the dough. Spray Pam or nonstick spray in the pan. Put dough in pan. Bake covered 30 min. After 30 min uncover and bake 10-15 minutes more. Top will be browned Let sit 15 min before cutting.
If you want to you can add craisins or raisins, jalapenos and cheese when you are folding the sides in before cooking.
