Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in hot water and let it sit for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Next, add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture.
  3. Then, knead the dough for 10 minutes until it reaches an elastic consistency.
  4. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Then, punch it down and let it rise for another 45 minutes.
  5. While it is rising the second time, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius).
  6. After it has risen, shape your dough into a loaf, cut slits in the middle, and bake on a baking sheet for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Finally, serve with butter and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage Info:
  • To keep Pan de Agua fresh, store it at room temperature, wrapped in a cloth inside a plastic bag for two days. For extended storage, freeze the sliced bread wrapped in plastic and then in foil for up to three months. To warm up a whole loaf of bread or slices, heat them in an oven preheated to 350°F (about 175°C); it should take roughly 10-15 minutes.
