In a large bowl, combine the water, salt, and yeast. Give these a whisk.
Add the flour and mix using a large spoon or spatula until all the flour is incorporated. Scrape down the sides as best you can with your spoon or spatula.
The dough should be very sticky. Depending on your flour, you might need to add more water.
Cover the bowl with a large plate, and leave on the counter for 30 minutes.
Perform four rounds of 'stretches and folds' over two hours.
Pre-heat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly brush a baking tray with olive oil, and dust with flour.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it on the prepared baking tray.
Using scissors, cut a 'slash' in the top of the dough.
Cover the dough with a prepared 'lid' and place everything in the pre-heated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue baking until the loaf is a beautiful golden brown color.
Let the bread cool for at least an hour before cutting into it.
