Ingredients

4 cups of flour 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of salt1 teaspoon of sugar1 sachet of instant dry yeast1 and 3/4 cups of water1 tablespoon of olive oil
4 cups of flour 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of salt1 teaspoon of sugar1 sachet of instant dry yeast1 and 3/4 cups of water1 tablespoon of olive oil

Preparation

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients, make a pit in the middle and put the water and the olive oil there.
  2. Knead well until all ingredients are well blended and you have a very sticky dough.
  3. Let it rise for 1 hour, after the leavening, make your desired bread shape on a dusted with flour tray and let it rise for another hour.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C of 390°F for 50 minutes.

Note: Please make sure you use "Instant Dry Yeast", NOT active dry yeast. When you preheat the oven, place an empty tray in the bottom of the oven, as soon as you place bread in the oven, put some ice water in the empty tray at the bottom of the oven, 10 minutes before the bread is done, remove the tray with the water.
This will make the bread crusty.

    What is the size of the yeast sachet? Amazon sells it by the ounce.

    Normally 1/4 oz. or 2 1/4 teaspoons.

    I followed the recipe and the crust was over cooked but the inside of the bread undercooked. Any idea why?

    First time I hear this happening Laura, did you preheat the oven and set the right temperature/time?

    My question is the flower I'm assuming is all purpose ? Also the recipe does not say warm water ?
    2 Years ago, Thursday, December 28, 2023

    Tuga Pops
    Yes, always all-purpose unless it says different and normal temp water since you are not using active dry yeast.

    Do you make the yeast on its own or do you just add all the ingredients like your recipe calls for?

    Since this recipe uses "instant" dry yeast, you just mix it with all the ingredients, please make sure it's "instant dry yeast" and not active dry yeast.

    I love having warm bread for breakfast, but don't want to get up early. Can I make the bread the night before and let it rise overnight, and then put it in the oven in the morning? Would this work?

    Tuga Pops

    Yes, but let it rise, place it in the fridge over night, in the morning remove it from the fridge, and let the dough get to room temperature before baking.

    I have made this a couple of times. I read all the comments and followed all directions to the T with instant yeast that was not “dead”. While the flavor is absolutely delicious, I have a problem with the dough “spreading”. It never really forms a firm ball at any part of the process and immediately goes flat and spread on the baking pan and results in a thin flatter loaf (which is devoured all the same haha). Do you have any idea what I am doing incorrectly?

    Tuga Pops
    Please make sure the dough has the right consistency, maybe add a little less water, you should be able to form it into a ball, if it doesn’t it’s because you added to much water, please remember that water measurements differ for different brands of flour as some react differently. The best way is to use your judgement and add or use less water.

    Sorry to hear that Amy, you are doing something wrong but not sure what. Does it rise at all when it’s baking?

    I'm supposed to add the yeast with the dry mix/ not in water before?
    3 Years ago, Monday, July 10, 2023
    reply
    Tuga Pops
    That is correct James, because it's instant dry yeast and not active dry yeast, you don't have to proof it.

    This is my go to bread recipe 2x week. Day one - have it with onion soup, day 2 - French toast it, day three butter and coffee day 4 - bread pudding. Way peezy, tasty and very filling. Loaf of bread costs $6 here - I mark my bread for less than $1 loaf.

    Do I need a Dutch oven to make this bread? What can I use to keep the round form other than a dutch oven?
    3 Years ago, Saturday, February 4, 2023
    reply
    Tuga Pops
    No you don't Linda, just a regular oven, form a ball and flatten it a little, then make a cross type cut on top.

    I just baked your recipe as we have trouble finding good, crusty bread here in Florida. I used a baking stone and the bottom of the bread stuck so no bottom crust. Is the baking stone the problem?

    Tuga Pops
    Shawn, most likely, specially if you didn't dust it with flour.
