INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Water: 1 ⅛ cups (270 g)

Olive oil: optional, 1 tbsp (adds a softer interior; skip if you want max chew)

Bread flour: 3 cups

Salt: 1 ½ teaspoons

Sugar: 1 teaspoon (just to help the yeast activate — not sweet)

Yeast (active dry or bread machine): 1 teaspoon

Order for a bread machine:

  1. Water

  2. Oil (if using)

  3. Flour

  4. Salt + sugar (on opposite sides of the bucket)

  5. Make a little well in the flour

  6. Add the yeast into that well

Then:

Use the French setting.

Turn crust color to DARK if your machine allows.

Hit start.

Walk away. Let magic happen.

NOTES

MAKE SURE TO MAKE THE WELL WHERE THE YEAST GOES IN SO IT GETS INCORPORATED WELL AND USE ROOM TEMP WATER!


What you’ll get:

  • Crackly crust

  • Chewy center

  • Big air pockets

  • A very “tear it with your hands, eat with salted butter” loa
