In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast.

Add the water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.

After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface.

With floured hands, shape the dough into a ball and place it on a floured piece of parchment paper.

Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise for another 1 to 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a cast iron pot inside to heat up.

Once preheated, carefully remove the pot, place the dough inside (with the parchment paper), and cover with the lid.

Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the bread from the pot and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
