Serving: 2 Loaves |Prep Time: 1hr 45 minutes |Total Time: 2hr 30 minutes

Ingredients

500 grams AP flour

5 grams Yeast

7 grams Salt

350 ml water

Olive oil

Flour for dusting

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until they come together
2. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until you get a smooth dough.
3. Coat in oil and place in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes.
4. Turn out onto a floured surface and divide dough into two equal portions
5. Knead lightly to get dough into a circular shape (knead very lightly- you don’t want a tough dough)
6. Take two bowls (medium mixing bowls should be good) and place a cloth inside each one (I used new dish towels, but cloth napkins should work)
7. Sprinkle flour over the cloth and place one dough ball into each bowl
8. Fold the cloth over the dough and let rest for another 45 minutes
9. When there are 30 minutes left place two oven safe dishes with lids in the oven and preheat to 425°
10. After the 30 minutes are done take the dishes out of the oven and carefully transfer the dough into the dishes
11. Score with a sharp knife and spray with water
12. Replace lids and bake for 30 minutes
13. Remove lids and lower the oven to 350° and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
