This No Knead Italian Rustic Bread is a classic crusty bread that is perfect for serving alongside soups, stews, and pastas. This recipe is easy to make and only requires a handful of ingredients. One of the benefits of this recipe is that it does not require any special equipment, the bread is baked in a Dutch oven which helps to create a crispy crust and soft, airy interior. This Italian bread is a bread that begs to be shared with family and friends, and is a perfect addition to any meal.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add water and stir until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 12 hours, or up to 18 hours.
2.	Preheat oven to 450°F. Once heated, place a 6 quart Dutch oven with lid in the oven and heat for 30 minutes.
3.	While the Dutch oven is heating up, transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover dough with plastic wrap and let rest while the Dutch oven heats up.
4.	Carefully remove the heated Dutch oven from the oven and place the dough inside. Cover with lid and bake for 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the internal temperature is 200-210 degrees F.
5.	Remove from oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
