Ingredients
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1½ cups warm water (around 110°F)
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. In another bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
2. Mix the yeast mixture into the flour until combined; the dough will be sticky.
3. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm spot for at least 1 hour or until doubled.
4. Shape the dough into a round loaf on a floured surface and let rise again for another hour.
5. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
– Use fresh ingredients for best results.
– Let rising times be generous to develop flavor.
– Try adding herbs, cheese, or seeds for variation.
