Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, and salt.
• Add warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Shape the dough into a loaf and place on a baking sheet. Slash the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
