Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl, including yeast. Add warm water and stir by hand for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Lightly coat the inside of another medium bowl with olive oil and place the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest 12 hours at room temperature. Can do this overnight.

Remove the dough from the bowl. Fold in half, and then fold it again. Let it rest for 15 minutes in the bowl.

Generously flour a piece of parchment paper, and set the dough on top. Shape into a ball. This can be done by tucking the sides underneath the ball of dough.This is just done for looks.

Place seam side down onto the paper. Cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and let rise 1-2 hours at room temperature, until more than doubled in size. I place mine by a warm window.

After 1 hour of final dough rising, preheat oven to 450°F. Place the pot in the oven at least 30 minutes prior to baking, to preheat.

When dough has more than doubled, remove the pot from the oven place the dough inside, with the seam side now up. Cover with the lid and bake 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake 15-25 more minutes, until the loaf is nicely browned.
