Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast

Instructions

  5. Let the dough rise for another 1-2 hours, covered with a towel.
  6. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat up.
  7. Carefully transfer the dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover it, and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For a crustier bread, use a baking stone instead of a Dutch oven.
  • Experiment with adding herbs or seeds for different flavors.
  • Store bread in a paper bag to keep the crust crispy.
