Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt until well combined.
Step 2: Add the warm water to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky, shaggy dough forms and no dry flour remains.
Step 3: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours until it has doubled in size and is covered in small bubbles.
Step 4: Place a Dutch oven (with the lid) into your oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C).
Step 5: While the oven preheats, turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and gently shape into a round ball. Do not overwork the dough.
Step 6: Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven, lift the dough using the parchment, and place it inside.
Step 7: Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown.
Step 8: Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
