Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 370 ml)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until slightly foamy.
- Add flour and salt, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F).
- Lightly flour a surface and gently shape dough into a round loaf without over-kneading.
- Place on a lined or greased baking tray.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This dough is naturally sticky; avoid adding too much extra flour.
- Use fresh yeast for best rising results.
- Adding steam in the oven helps create a crispier crust.
- Do not over-knead to maintain a soft texture.
- Cool slightly before slicing to prevent gummy texture.
