Ingredients
  

For the Bread:
  • 1.5 cups warm water (around 110°F)
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Plastic wrap or kitchen towel
  • Dutch oven
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, honey, and Greek yogurt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Gradually add in the flour and kosher salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms and no dry flour remains.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for about 8-12 hours, or overnight.
  4. About 30 minutes before you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place your Dutch oven (with the lid on) inside to heat up.
  5. Once the dough has risen, lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Shape the dough into a round loaf.
  6. If using parchment paper, place it in the bottom of the heated Dutch oven. Carefully transfer the shaped dough into the pot.
  7. Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  8. Once baked, carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Store bread at room temperature in a paper bag or wrapped in a kitchen towel.
  • If freezing, slice and store in an airtight bag for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat slices in a toaster or oven for a few minutes to revive crust.
