Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 2 ½ teaspoons of quick yeast. Gradually stir in 1 ⅓ cups of warm water until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the mixing bowl and place it in a warm area for about 60 minutes, allowing the dough to rise and double in size.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape it into a ball, and cover with a towel for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F and place your empty Dutch oven inside to heat up for about 30 minutes.
- After resting, carefully transfer the shaped dough into the hot Dutch oven and score the top with a sharp knife.
- Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.

Notes
For an optimal taste, ensure that the Dutch oven is preheated and allow the bread to cool to maintain its texture.
