Cost: Recipe $1.15 / Serving $0.12
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour ($0.75)
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast or RapidRise yeast, 1 packet ($0.38)
- 1 teaspoon salt ($0.01)
- 1 ½ cups warm water, about 110°F ($0.00)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, for shaping ($0.01)
Instructions
- Mix dough. Whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl, then pour in the warm water and stir until fully combined. The dough will be sticky and shaggy.
- Rest. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat Dutch oven. After 40 minutes, place a 3 to 6 quart Dutch oven with the lid on into a cold oven and preheat to 450°F.
- Shape dough. Generously flour a clean surface, turn the dough out, lightly flour the top, fold over itself 10 to 12 times, and shape into a round ball.
- Final rest. Line a bowl with parchment paper, place the dough inside, cover with a towel, and rest for 15 minutes while the oven finishes heating.
- Bake. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven, lower the dough in using the parchment paper, cover, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding.
- Cool. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour, before slicing.
Notes
- Substitutions. All-purpose or bread flour both work. Bread flour may need a small splash of extra water if the dough feels dry.
- Variations. Shape as a round loaf on a baking sheet or bake in a loaf pan.
- Storage. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Avoid refrigerating.
