This will be one of the easiest bread recipes that you will no doubt want to memorize. Mainly because, once you know the foundation you will be able to add so many additional flavors and herbs to create any type of bread your heart desires!
Bread Tips
Don’t use water that is over 110° or you might kill the yeast and the bread wont rise. Also, try to use instant yeast to keep the process fast and simple.
If you don’t have a dutch oven, use a cake pan. Some people say that putting a pot of water on the bottom rack makes the crust crispier but it is just a theory in my eyes!
