Method
- In a large bowl, stir together the bread flour, sea salt, and yeast.
- Mix the honey and warm water together, then pour on top of the dry ingredients. Mix to combine.
- Shape the sticky dough into a ball as best you can and cover tightly. Allow to rise at room temperature for 12–18 hours.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a ball. Transfer to a large piece of parchment paper and score an X on top.
- Place the dough in a bowl to prevent it from spreading and cover lightly. Rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (246°C) with a Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes.
- Carefully place the dough with parchment into the hot Dutch oven and cover with the lid.
- Bake for 25 minutes with the lid on. Then, remove the lid and continue baking for 8–10 more minutes until golden brown.
- Test for doneness by tapping the bread; it should sound hollow or use an instant-read thermometer to check for 195°F (90°C).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
