Ingredients
- 480 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 8 grams Salt
- 12 grams Sugar
- 360 milliliters Warm water (110°F or 43°C)
- 0 Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Step 2
Gradually pour in the warm water while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until a sticky, shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix; it’s fine if the dough is slightly lumpy.
Step 3
Cover the mixing bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 4
Once the dough has risen, prepare two medium oven-safe bowls or a single large one by spraying them lightly with non-stick cooking spray. If you do not have non-stick cooking spray, lightly grease the bowls with a small amount of oil or line them with parchment paper.
Step 5
Punch down the dough gently to release excess air, then divide it evenly between the prepared bowls if using two. Smooth the tops gently with a spatula or your hands.
Step 6
Cover the bowls loosely again and allow the dough to rise for another 20 to 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 8
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes if divided into two bowls, or 45 to 50 minutes if using a single large bowl. The bread is done when the tops are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
Step 9
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the bowls for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 10
Serve the bread plain, toasted, or alongside your favorite spreads and toppings. Store leftover bread in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
