Ingredients

  • 3½ cups + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour (450 grams total, if you double or triple the recipe double or triple this amount)
  • 1½ cups + 3 tablespoons lukewarm water / divided (396 grams total, if you double or triple the recipe double or triple this amount)
  • 1¾ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl add 1/4 cup (60 grams) of lukewarm water, 1 teaspoon of honey (I mixed these together then added the yeast) and yeast.  Let sit 5 minutes then mix to combine.
  2. In a large bowl add the flour, make a well in the centre and add the yeast mixture and remaining water (1 1/4 cups + 3 tablespoons / 340 grams), start to combine with a wooden spoon, then add the salt and combine well.  Sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of flour.
  3. Cover the bowl and place in a warm draft free area and let rest for 2 hours.
  4. After 1¾ hours has passed pre-heat oven to 420° F (220°C).  And line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper, sprinkled with flour.
  5. With the help of a spatula transfer the dough  (floured side up) onto the prepared sheet.  Divide the dough into 2-3 parts, shape into logs approximately 2 inches apart.  Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.  (Bread is done when tapped on the bottom and there is a hollow sound). Enjoy!
