No Kneed Bread

Thank you Pinterest for this recipe (and for keeping me occupied for hours):

3 cups flour
1.5 cups water
1 3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dry active yeast
Mix above in a large bowl and let rise for 12-20 hours.

Turn out onto floured surface, fold over a few times. Let rest 15 minutes.

Place back in an oiled bowl in roughly a ball shape, seam side down. Alternatively, place the dough between two floured cotton towels (don’t use terry cloth unless you want a dough disaster).  Let rise another 2 hours

30 minutes before the rise is over, preheat oven to 450º and place a 5-8 quart cast iron pot, with lid, in the oven while it heats. Take the hot pot out (be careful!), sprinkle the bottom with cornmeal and place dough ball in seam side up.

Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on.  Remove lid and bake for an additional 10-20 to brown.

So good...our go-to bread recipe now.
