Loaf of soft and fluffy skillet bread that bakes in a cast iron skillet
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups warm water 105–115 degrees
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 ½ - 4 cups bread flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, stir the water, honey, and yeast together.
- Let mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
- Add 2 ½ cups of flour, olive oil, and salt.
- Knead on low, continuing to add flour 1/4 cup at a time until it forms a soft, smooth dough that clears the sides of the bowl.
- Once it forms the dough, continue to knead for 5 minutes on low.
- Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Form the dough into a tight ball and place in a cast iron skillet. I use a 12" skillet.
- Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Toward the end of the second rising time, set your oven rack to the lower middle position and preheat oven to 400F.
- Just before you place the bread in the oven cut two slits width-wise and one lengthwise.
- Bake for 12-20 minutes. The bread will brown quickly toward the end of the baking time, so keep an eye on it.
- OPTIONAL: I brush a little melted butter over the baked bread and sprinkle sea salt on top.
Notes
- Water: If you don't have a thermometer, feel the water. It should feel a little warmer than bath water but shouldn't feel uncomfortably warm. If it's too hot for you, it will be too hot and could kill the yeast.
- Oil: I like to use olive oil in this recipe. Another neutral oil should work in place of the olive oil.
- Flour: All-purpose flour will also work in this recipe.
- Cast iron skillet: I've only used a cast iron skillet to bake this bread.
- After baking: I lightly brush the outside of the bread with butter and lightly sprinkle it with sea salt. It's optional, but the butter does help to keep the crust soft.
