Ingredients:
- Bread flour: 2 ½ cups (320 grams)
- Water: ¾ cup + 2 tbsp. (210 ml)
- Brewer’s yeast: 1 tsp. (3g) or dry yeast: ½ tsp. (2g)
- Sugar: 1 tsp.
- Salt: 1 tsp.
Instructions:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add Water: Pour the warm water into the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Let Rise: Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape and Bake: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured baking sheet and shape it into a loaf. Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool: Let the bread cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- Use a Dutch oven: For a crispier crust, bake the bread in a preheated Dutch oven.
- Add flavor: Incorporate your favorite herbs or spices into the dough for added flavor, such as rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder.
- Experiment with flours: Try using whole wheat flour or a combination of flours for a different texture and flavor.
