Cinnamon Sugar Dutch Oven Crusty Bread

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 cup flour (360 grams)
  • 1.5 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1.5 cup warm water

DIRECTIONS:

Day One:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Add water, stirring until a shaggy mixture forms (mixture will be loose and sticky; this is what you want). Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12 hours (up to 24). Overnight works great.

Day Two:

Preheat oven to 450. Place a cast iron dutch oven with a lid in the oven and heat the pot for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pour the risen dough onto a heavily floured surface (mixture will be sticky) and lightly shape into a round loaf.
