Mix it: In a large bowl stir together the first five ingredients. Pour in the water and use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir everything together until it comes together in a sticky ball of dough.

Let it rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and then over the plastic wrap lay a clean towel. Place in a draft-free area and let it sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours. An overnight rise is ideal. But you could also feasibly prep this at 6am and then make it for dinner at 6pm.

Preheat: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a Dutch oven in the oven to preheat for 20-30 minutes.

Shape it: Sprinkle a little flour on a clean surface and flour your hands. Scoop the bread dough out of the bowl onto the floured surface. Shape it into a ball. It’ll be sticky so make sure you have well-floured hands or it will be impossible to handle. Place the dough ball on a piece of parchment paper and place it in the preheated Dutch oven. Sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese. Cover with the tight-fitting lid and place it on the center rack of your oven.

Bake it: Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown. The bake time may vary slightly based on your oven so check after ten minutes.

ENJOY: Remove bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool for about ten minutes (impossible I know). Tear off a hunk or slice with a bread knife and lather with butter. Cry happy bread tears, this is a good day.
