Overnight Crusty Artisan Bread

Overnight Crusty Artisan Bread 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp salt 3/4 tsp. rapid rise yeast 1 1/2 cups warm water ***Note*** You will be moving your Dutch Oven around a couple times, and it will be very hot, so keep your hot pads close by all the time! In large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add water and mix until completely combined. You will have a gooey and messy dough at this point. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Lay dish towel over top, and set in a warm place in your kitchen over night. (I have let this set for 12-15 hours). When you are ready to bake the bread, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Set dutch oven in oven for 30 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, on to a heavily floured surface, turn out dough and shape into a ball. Make sure that it is covered in the flour. It won't be pretty, but that is ok! Cover with plastic wrap and let rest. When Dutch Oven is preheated, remove from oven and place dough in center, put the lid on the dutch oven, and bake into the oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove lid and continue baking for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Bread should be golden, and when thumped on the bottom, it will sound hollow. Let cool a bit, then enoy!
