Step 1

Proof the yeast by sprinkling it over the warm water and adding the sugar. Cover in a warm spot for 10-15 min until it's spongy. If it doesn't get spongy use different yeast. In a separate bowl place the flour & salt and mix together. Put about a cup of the flour mix into the kitchenaid with a dough hook. Add the yeast water and slowly mix the rest of the flour in. Kneed for 4-5 min. Remove dough hook & hand kneed a bit to form a ball. Cover and let rise for 45-60 min until doubled in size. Punch down, kneed a *little* to get big air bubbles out. Place parchment in cast iron Dutch Oven to come up sides. Form a nice ball with the dough by pulling & pinching the bottom. Oil all sides and place in dutch oven. Cover and let rise again. When it's risen, place in 450 oven with the lid on for 20 min. Remove cover and continue to cook for another 15-20 min. This is a very flaky bread, and if you don't line with parchment it WILL stick as it cooks. It would probably make great rolls.
