- 1 1/2 cups hot water (up to 130°F)
- 3 cups All Purpose Flour (aerated before measuring)
- 1 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
- Extra flour for shaping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the yeast with hot water and let it sit for five minutes until frothy.
- Stir in the aerated flour and salt until combined; the dough will be lumpy.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for one hour.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F with a Dutch oven inside while the dough rises.
