In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast.

Add the warm water and stir until a sticky dough forms and no dry flour remains.

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours, until doubled and bubbly.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Fold the dough over itself a few times to form a rough loaf shape.

Place the dough seam-side down on a piece of parchment paper.

Cover loosely and let rest while the oven preheats.

Preheat the oven to 450°F with the Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes.

Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven and lift the dough into it using the parchment paper.

Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10 minutes until lightly golden.

Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and cool completely before slicing.
