Ingredients

Units

2 cups warm water (110°)
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. or 1 pkg. yeast
4 cups all purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Mix salt, yeast and water. Stir until dissolved.
  2. Add flour. Mix until well blended.
  3. Cover in a bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a small hole in the plastic wrap.
  4. Let rise 2 hours.
  5. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on top and punch down.
  6. Divide dough in half to make two balls, using just enough flour so you can make each into a ball. It will be sticky.
  7. Fold the edges under to form a smooth top.
  8. Let rise on parchment paper on a cookie sheet for 40-50 minutes until doubled.
  9. Optional: Put melted butter on top with some sesame seeds. Score the top of the bread with a knife. Place an oven-safe pan with 1 cup of water in oven. (The steam this creates will give the bread a chewy, crispy crust.)
  10. Preheat oven to 450°.
  11. Bake 30 minutes.
