Effortless Rustic Bread

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, and salt; let it sit until the mixture turns foamy, about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Stir the flour into the yeast mixture until fully combined. The dough will be shaggy and appear wet. Loosely cover the bowl with a damp towel and leave it in a warm spot, about 5 hours.

3. 3

   With damp hands, shape the dough into 2 loaves. Set the loaves on a cornmeal-dusted work surface and score the tops several times with a sharp knife. Move the loaves to a baking sheet and let them rest until they double in size, 30 to 60 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven, misting the surface of the dough with water from time to time, until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
