In a Kitchen Aid mixer with a paddle attachment or a bowl and wood spoon, combine dry ingredients.
Slowly add water while the mixer is on a low speed, and mix until everything is combined.
If hand mixed, leave dough in the bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
If mixed in your Kitchen Aid, transfer dough to a medium mixing bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
Allow dough to sit and rise for 4 up to 24 hours.
When the dough is risen, generously flour your counter top.
Scrape the loose, wet dough onto a floured surface and sprinkle top with more flour.
Quickly pull edges around and to the bottom of the loaf, forming a sort of ball as you tuck the edges under itself.
Place prepared dough onto a parchment sheet, allowing to sit a few minutes while the oven heats.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Score the top of the loaf with a serrated knife or bread lame if you'd like.
Bake in a dutch oven pot with the lid on for 30 minutes, then lid off for 15 more or until golden brown.
If using a pizza stone, set bread on the stone and tent with a sheet of tin foil, bake for 30 minutes and remove the tin foil for an additional 15 minutes until golden.
Remove bread from the oven and set on a cooling rack.
Cover the loaf with a lightweight flour sack towel while it cools.
