  • Bread recipe

    I made my first bread today from scratch. The recipe is very simple:

    1. 430 grams flour (King Arthurs bread flour)
    2. 2 teaspoons coarse salt
    3. 1 bag (6-7 grams) of instant yeast
    4. 1 1/2 cups of water
    Mix everything gently together in a bowl until the dough becomes sticky. Then proof at 95 Fahrenheit for 1 hour until the dough doubles in size. Preheat the oven to 475 Fahrenheit and bake for 20 minutes. Bread in the oven The results were good for a first attempt, but I will try to proof for 2 hours next to achieve fluffier results.
