Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, whisk together the dry active yeast and warm water until the yeast is dissolved.
2.	Add the flours and salt and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined and a shaggy dough forms.
3.	Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
4.	Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven with a lid in the oven to preheat for 30 minutes.
5.	Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and carefully transfer the dough into the Dutch oven, being careful not to deflate the dough.
6.	Cover the Dutch oven with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
7.	Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
8.	Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
