Easy bread

You need a pot with a lid like the “Le creuset” pot on the photo. Pay attention to the button, it is metal and goes in the oven. You can also use a glass one, like Pyrex pots. You need to be able to close it.

Ingredients

  • Strong flour 3 cups (500 g)
  • Sugar 1 tsp (5 g)
  • Salt 1 tsp (5 g)
  • Dry yeast 1/4 tsp
  • Water 1 1/2 cup (380 g)
  • Vinegar/lemon juice 1 tbsp (15 g) (Helps the dough to grow faster)

Preparation

  • Stir by hand flour, salt, sugar and yeast
  • Then add water and lemon
  • Stir without really kneading until there is no more flour in the bowl (fold one way and then the other way at 90° etc.)
  • It is still very sticky
  • Cover or put in a plastic bag pretty well sealed
  • Leave in the kitchen for 8-12 hours
  • It will grow by twice the original size
  • Generously flour your counter and put the dough, make a round shape
  • Pre-heat the oven a 400° F
  • Heat the pot with the lid opened for 15 minutes
  • Place the bread in the pot, close it and bake for 30 minutes
  • Take out the lid and leave in the oven for 15 minutes
  • That’s it.
