Instructions

1
In a large bowl, mix bread flour, salt, and instant yeast. Stir in warm water until a shaggy dough forms. Fold in dried cranberries and chopped nuts.
2
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise at room temperature for 12–18 hours, until bubbly and doubled.
3
Dust a surface or parchment with flour. Turn out the dough and shape into a ball with floured hands. Cover loosely and let rest 30–45 minutes.
4
While dough rests, preheat oven with Dutch oven inside to 450°F (232°C).
5
Carefully place dough (with parchment if using) into the hot Dutch oven. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake 12–15 minutes more, until crusty and golden.
6
Cool on a rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
