Calories: 173kcal
Ingredients
- 4 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 2 cups warm water (120-125ºF)
- 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine 4 cups of the flour and the yeast.
- Add in the warm water and stir.
- Add in the olive oil and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until well incorporated. The dough will be sticky and stick to the sides of the bowl as you mix.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place to rise for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Dust a clean counter with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour. Pour the dough out onto the floured surface and knead for one minute. Form the dough into a ball and place in the center of a parchment lined 4-5 quart dutch oven pot.
- Heat the oven to 400ºF. Place the bread into the oven on the center rack with the lid on the dutch oven.
- Bake the bread with the lid on for 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the bread is golden brown.
- Remove the dutch oven from the oven and allow the bread to rest in the pan for at least 5 minutes.
- Take the loaf out of the dutch oven and cool on a baking rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
