Ingredients
- bread flour - 500g (use bread flour for best texture)
- water - 375g (divided water for dough hydration)
- yeast - 2g (active dry yeast or instant yeast)
- salt - 10g (ocean salt preferred)
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Mix 500g bread flour with 50g water and 2g yeast to start the dough. Add 10g salt and 325g additional water to achieve 75% hydration. Mix until combined.
- Knead and Proof: Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Let it rise until doubled in size.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 475°F (246°C). Place a pizza stone inside to heat for a crispy bottom crust.
- Bake Bread: Shape the dough into a loaf and place on the hot pizza stone. Bake until crust is golden and loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool Bread: Let the bread cool for 1 hour before slicing to allow the crumb to set.
