Introduction
Homemade bread is one of the most satisfying things you can make in the kitchen. With just flour and water as the foundation, this recipe celebrates simplicity, patience, and tradition. The result is a loaf with a crisp exterior, a soft interior, and that unmistakable homemade flavor that store-bought bread can never match.
Ingredients
800 g wheat flour
540 g water
Optional (but recommended for classic bread):
10 g salt
7 g active dry yeast
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour and water until a shaggy dough forms.
If using yeast and salt, mix them in evenly.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Gently fold the dough a few times to develop structure.
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a baking dish or Dutch oven inside.
Shape the dough gently and place it on parchment paper.
Transfer to the hot baking dish and cover.
Bake for 25 minutes covered, then uncover and bake 10–15 minutes more until golden.
Cool slightly before slicing.
Cooking Methods Explained
Resting the dough allows hydration and gluten development.
Folding instead of kneading keeps the crumb tender.
High-heat baking creates a crispy crust and airy interior.
These methods keep the bread rustic and beginner-friendly.
