Artisan No-Knead Bread (aka"Magic Bread")
from simplysogood.com

3 c. unbleached all purpose flour
1 3/4 t salt
1/2 t. yeast
1 1/2 c. water

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast.  Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms.  Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12-18 hours.  Overnight works great.  Heat oven to 450 degrees.  When the oven has reached temperature, place a cast iron pot with a lid in the oven and heat the pot for 30 min.  Meanwhile, pour dough onto a heavily floured surface and shape into a ball (lightly, don't handle too much).  Cover with plastic wrap and let sit while the pot is heating.  Remove hot pot from the oven and drop in the dough.  Cover and return to overn for 30 minutes.  After 30 minutes remove the lid and bake an additional 15 minutes.  Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
