Fresh Bread

• porções: Makes 1 round loaf
• tempo total: 2 hours 42 minutes

Ingredientes

1 packet (or 2 1/4 tsp) yeast (I used @fleischmannsyeast active dry yeast)

1 1/2 cups warm water

2 tsp kosher salt

3 cups all purpose flour

Instruções

In a large bowl, whisk together the yeast and warm water. Add the flour and salt and mix until you well combined. The dough will be sticky as shown. Cover the bowl and let’s sit in a warm place for two hours to rise (I just put mine in the -unheated- oven since it’s warmer in there than in my house!). Preheat your oven to 450F. Place a covered Dutch oven inside the oven while it is preheating. Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter along with a generous amount of flour and the sticky dough. Form a ball, using more flour if needed. Score the top in an X shape. Carefully take the Dutch oven out of the oven and transfer the dough (along with parchment paper) inside and cover. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for 6-8 minutes more. Remove from the oven and carefully lift the loaf out to cool. Once the bread has cooled, slice and enjoy as desired! #homemadebread #breadrecipes #dutchovenbread
