Ingredients 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon active dry yeast 2 teaspoons salt 1 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (Optional) 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (Optional) 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage (Optional) Directions Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a ball (boule). Turn the dough every 30 minutes during the rising time by gently folding all four sides into the middle, and turning the dough over. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours. The dough needs time to rise so that the gluten can relax and the yeast can work its magic. Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and elasticity. Add the flour, mix to combine, cover the bowl, and allow the mixture to rest for 20 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the gluten to start its development.Īdd the yeast and salt, and knead the dough until it's fairly smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes by hand or 3 to 4 minutes using a stand mixer set at medium-low speed. Use fresh flour and make sure your yeast is still active. Weigh the flour, or measure it by gently spooning it into a measuring cup and sweeping off the excess.

Meanwhile, place a 6-quart Dutch oven (or heavy cooking pot with oven-safe lid) inside the oven.Place the dough seam-side down in a clean bowl that has been lightly coated with olive oil and dusted with flour.Fold the dough under itself several times to form a ball, then pinch together the seams of dough underneath. Using your hands, begin to shape it into a loaf. Sprinkle a bit of flour on top of the dough.Once the dough has doubled in size again, gently transfer it from the bowl to a lightly floured surface.Once finished, cover and let the dough rise again for another 1 ½-2 hours.
