1-2-3 No Knead Sour Dough Bread

1 c sour dough starter
1 c water
2 tsp salt
3 c flour

Mix all ingredients together in a big bowl. Stir until all the flour is mixed in. Put in a bowl and cover with a lid. Let rise on the counter for 8 hours or turn on the oven for 3 minutes. Turn oven off (this heats it up). Put covered dough in. Let it sit overnight.

To Bake:
1. Put large pot and lid in oven. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
2. Pour dough out onto floured countertop. Pour carefully, try not to break any air bubbles.
3. Flour hands and fold dough over itself 4 times.
4. Open oven and carefully place dough into hot pot. Put on lid--watch out it is HOT!
5. Bake 15-20 minutes with lid. Then, turn down heat to 450 degrees and bake 15 minutes.

Comes out crusty! YUM!
