Step 1

Combine flour, salt and yeast. Pour in olive oil and warm water. Mix until sticky dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit 20 minutes.

Step 2

Lightly wet hands. Grab one side of the dough, stretch it upward and fold it over to the other side. Repeat all sides until there are no sides left. Cover again and let rest for 20 minutes. Repeat two more times.

Step 3

After the third fold cover and let rest covered in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until puffed up and slightly wobbly.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 425 degrees with an oven-safe Dutch oven in the oven.

Step 5

Transfer dough gently to floured parchment paper and sprinkle with additional flour. Carefully fold sides into centre and tuck in without knocking too much air out. Flip over and shape into rough round loaf. Cover and let rest until oven is to temperature.

Step 6

Pull out dutch oven and uncover. Place parchment to Dutch oven and recover. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, remove parchment and put on rack to cool bread. Enjoy!
