Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Mix Dough: Combine flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast in a large bowl. Stir in lukewarm water until a shaggy, sticky dough forms—no kneading required!
  2. First Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1½–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
    • Pro Tip: If your kitchen is cool, place the bowl in the oven with the light on or near a sunny window.
  3. Prepare Bowls: Generously butter two oven-safe bowls or loaf pans. Divide the dough using a spatula and place into greased containers.
  4. Second Rise: Let dough rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy and airy.
  5. Bake Bread: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 375°F (190°C), and bake another 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Tap the bottom—it’s ready if it sounds hollow.
  6. Cool & Serve: Cool in bowls for 10 minutes, transfer to a wire rack, and slice. Pair with butter, jam, or honey for ultimate indulgence.

Ways to Serve:

  • Perfect for dipping into soups or stews.
  • Make breakfast toast with avocado or jam.
  • Transform it into garlic bread with butter and herbs.
  • Use it for rustic sandwiches.

Storage & Freezing:

  • Keep at room temp in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze by wrapping in plastic wrap and foil—lasts up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes for freshness.
