Instructions

In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast.
Pour warm water over the dry ingredients and stir until combined; the dough should be sticky.
Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 2 to 10 hours (preferably overnight).
Wet your hands and turn the dough onto a floured surface; shape it into a round loaf or divide it into two loaves.
Place the dough on parchment paper, dust with flour, score the top with a knife, and rest for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 450°F with a baking stone, Dutch oven, or iron skillet inside.
Slide the dough onto the hot surface; add one cup of hot water or five ice cubes to the oven for steam.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
