Recipe View Uncover the loaf and bake in the preheated oven. For an Italian-style loaf with a firmer crust, bake for 30 minutes. For a softer, sandwich-style bread, bake for 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

For a richer flavor, try using honey instead of sugar.
If your kitchen is cold, place the bowl of dough in a slightly warmed oven (turned off!) to encourage rising.
Ensure your yeast is active by checking for foaming after the initial 10-minute period. If it doesn't foam, your yeast may be too old.

    I used this recipe to make pizza dough and it turned out amazing! So easy and delicious.

  • Rebeka Kihn

    This recipe is a lifesaver! I've struggled with baking at high altitude for years, and this one finally works.

  • Coty Grant

    The bread was a little dense, but next time I'll make sure my yeast is fresher and give it a bit longer to rise.
