Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup lukewarm water
  • 1 ⅛ teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by dissolving it in ¼ cup lukewarm water with honey; let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining water, and the yeast mixture. Use a fork to mix until you achieve a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  3. Add salt and stir gently. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes until doubled.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Transfer dough to a floured baking sheet, score the top lightly with a knife.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes at 425°F, then reduce temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
