Servings: 1 round loaf
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups warm water 105-115 degrees - any hotter could kill yeast
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar/honey
- 3-4 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
- Start by combining water, yeast, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. Yeast should become foamy on top of water.
- Begin adding in flour 1 cup at a time. After each cup, mix well with a large spoon or dough whisk to incorporate.
- Once dough is has formed (it will be a sticky, shaggy dough), cover the bowl with plastic wrap or damp tea towel. Allow to rise 1-3 hours. Dough should double in size during this time.
- Before you start to shape your loaf, preheat the oven to 450 degrees with dutch oven inside.
- Flour a worksurface and dump your dough out. This dough is sticky, so be generous with the flour. Begin to shape the dough into a round loaf by forming a ball. I like to twist the dough on the worksurface to smooth the bottom seams out.
- Place the formed dough onto parchment paper and transfer into dutch oven. Bake with the lid on for 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake additional 10 minutes.
- Allow bread to cool before slicing.
