Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (395 grams) all-purpose flour, or bread flour
- ½ tablespoon kosher salt
- ¼ ounce instant or active dry yeast, or 2¼ teaspoons
- 1½ cups warm water, 105°F
Instructions
- Add the 3 cups (395 grams) of all-purpose flour or bread flour to a large mixing bowl. Add the ½ tablespoon of kosher salt and the ¼-ounce packet of instant or active dry yeast, or 2¼ teaspoons. Pour in 1½ cups of warm water at 105°F. Mix until the flour is incorporated and a dough forms.
- Allow the dough to rest and rise according to the recipe’s bread-making process. Keep the dough covered while it rises and allow the yeast time to work.
- Once the dough has risen, handle it gently and shape it into a rustic loaf, preserving the air that has developed in the dough.
- Transfer the prepared loaf to the appropriate baking setup and bake according to the recipe’s baking process until the bread develops a deeply golden, crisp exterior. Allow the loaf to cool appropriately before slicing.
Notes
- You can use either all-purpose flour or bread flour for this recipe.
- Keep the water at approximately 105°F when preparing the dough.
- Allow the bread to cool before slicing so the interior can finish settling.
