I made bread from the first time and it was delicious. I have to say thank you to Kevin and Sarah over at Living Traditions Homestead on YouTube. I used their recipe and I want to share it with you.

Ingredients3 cups flour (all-purpose) I used organic unbleached like they did. 1/4 tsp dry active yeast1 tsp. salt1 1/2- 1 3/4 cup waterDirections

Add dry ingredients and whisk together until combined.

Add water slowly until you get a sticky dough

Cover with plastic wrap and let rest on counter for 3 hours

Take your dough out with a dough scraper or spatula on a floured board. Put flour on top and coat flour by folding it in a circular pattern until coated. I did 4 rotations.

Pre-heat oven at 450 degrees with a Dutch oven inside the oven. It needs to be heated before you cook the bread.

Put the dough in a piece of parchment paper and cover with a towel. The dough needs to rest for 35 minutes so let it rest while your oven is pre heating.

After 35 minutes, put the dough with the parchment paper into your Dutch oven and put the top on. Bake for 30 minutes.

Optional: Take off the lid for an additional 5-10 minutes until it is toasty brown.

Take the bread out of the Dutch oven and let cool on a rack before serving.

Enjoy!
