Crusty Bread


I would say that I looked long and hard for this recipe, but I found it over at Simply so Good after a quick google search.  I will likely be doing a lot of Janet's recipes (as long as she doesn't mind), since all the ones I've tried so far have been winners.

3 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 3/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Yeast
1 1/2 cup Water

Mix the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.  Then add the water.  Mix until there are no dry spots left.  Cover the bowl, then let it sit for at least 12-18 hr.

Heat the oven to 450 F, then put a pot with a lid in the oven.  Be sure that the pot can stand that much heat: A dutch oven is probably your best bet.  After half an hour, remove the pot and carefully butter the bottom of the pot.  Put the dough in, cover it, and return it to the oven for half an hour.  Then, remove the lid and bake for another 15 min.  That's it!  Remove from the oven and let it cool.
