Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110°F or 45°C)
1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional)
Instructions:
Mix the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water (and honey or sugar if using) and stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky, which is fine.
Let it Rise:
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for about 12 to 18 hours at room temperature. The dough should double in size and have lots of bubbles.
