Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4-4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted, plus more for brushing on cooked bread
  • 2 cups water, 115-120º F

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl combine 4 cups of the flour, yeast, sea salt, and sugar.
  • Mix together the melted butter and water. Pour into the mixing bowl with the flour and mix with a wooden spoon or in a stand mixer with the dough hook until a soft ball is formed. Add more flour as needed one tablespoon at a time.
  • Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 hour. The dough will be sticky and bubbly.
  • Preheat oven to 400º F and grease a 12 inch cast iron skillet. While the oven is heating. Pour the dough out onto a floured surface and form into a round ball by pulling towards yourself on the counter.
  • Place the bread dough into the center of a 12 inch cast iron skillet. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Until the dough is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Brush melted butter over the warm bread as desired for a shiny, outer surface.
