PREPARATION:
Ready to whip up your own fresh, warm bread in under 20 minutes? Follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) . Place a baking sheet or cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up while you prepare the dough.
Step 2: Make the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes, just until smooth. Avoid overworking the dough—it doesn’t need to be perfect!
Step 3: Shape the Bread
- Shape the dough into a round or oval loaf. If desired, sprinkle the top with seeds, herbs, or cheese for added flavor and texture.
- Use a sharp knife or razor blade to make a shallow slash across the top of the loaf. This helps the bread expand evenly during baking.
Step 4: Bake the Bread
- Carefully transfer the shaped dough onto the preheated baking sheet or skillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes , or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool slightly before slicing.
- Slice and serve warm with butter, olive oil, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy the aroma and flavor of freshly baked bread! 🍞✨
Enjoy !
