Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour and create a well in the center; pour in the foamy yeast mixture.
  3. Mix until combined into a shaggy dough.
  4. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  7. Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
