Ingredients

  • 3 ½ c bread flour unbleached
  • 1 teaspoon salt I use sea salt or kosher
  • 2 ½ teaspoon yeast
  • 1 ¼ c warm water
  • 1 Tb extra virgin olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the dry ingredients and give them a quick stir. Pour in the warm water and mix with a dough hook.
  • Let it run for 10-14 minutes, or until the dough springs back when pressed and stretches when pulled.
  • Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let the dough rise for 20 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form two long loaves.
  • Place them on a greased stone, baking sheet, or French loaf pan. Cover with a light cloth and allow to rise until double, about an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 450° (F).
  • Just before baking, lightly brush bread with the oil.
  • Bake 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Cool the loaves on a rack.
  • Enjoy!
