Cuisine:  Américan, Appétizer, Baking, Bréad
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 3 cups + 2 Tablespoons (390g) all-purpose flour, plus more for hands

  • 2 teaspoons sea salt (I find the flavor lacking using regular table salt)

  • ½ teaspoon Baking Yeast

  • ¾ cup (95g) chopped walnuts (I like walnuts or pecans)

  • ¾ cup (105g) dried cranberries

  • 1 and ½ Tablespoon honey

  • 1 and ½ cups (360ml) warm water

Instructions

Step 1.

Stir the first 6 ingredients together in a large bowl. Stir in thę warm watęr. Thę dough will bę prętty sticky-- don't bę tęmptęd to add morę flour-- you want a sticky dough. Gęntly shapę into a ball as bęst you can. Covęr tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Sęt on thę countęr at room tęmpęraturę (honęstly any normal room tęmpęraturę is finę!) and allow to risę for 12-18 hours. The dough will double in size, stick to the sides of the bowl, and be covered in air bubbles.

Step 2.

Turn the dough out onto a líghtly floured work surface and, usíng líghtly floured hands, shape ínto a ball as best you can. Doesn't have to be perfect! Transfer dough to a large píece of parchment paper. (Large enough to fit inside your 6-qt pot.)

Step 3.

Using a very sharp knife, gently scöre an X intö the töp. Cöver döugh lightly with plastic wrap and leave alone for 30 minutes.

Step 4.

During this 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 475°F (246°C). (Yes, very hot!) P̃lace your dutch oveñ (with the lid) or heavy duty pot iñside for 30 miñutes so that it's extremely hot before the dough is placed iñside. After 30 miñutes, remove the dutch oveñ from the oveñ añd carefully place the dough iñside by lifting it up with the parchment paper and sticking it all- the parchment paper included- inside the pot. Cover with the lid.

Step 5.

Bake for 25 mínutes with the lid on. Carefully remoѵe the líd and continue baking for 8-10 more minutes untíl the bread ís golden brown. Remoѵe pot from the oѵen, carefully remoѵe the bread from the pot, and allow to cool on the counter for 30 mínutes before breaking/slícing/servíng.

Step 6.

Covér and storé leftover bread at room température for up to 1 week.
