Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 cups bread flour

Equipment

Recipes FAQ

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?

While all-purpose flour can be used in this recipe, it may not give you the same chewy texture that you get with bread flour. If you do use all-purpose flour, you may need to adjust the amount of water you use.

Can I make this recipe without a bread machine?

Yes, you can make this recipe without a bread machine. Simply knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes, let it rise, and then bake it in the oven.

Can I freeze this bread?

Yes, you can freeze this bread. Simply wrap it in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag. When you're ready to eat it, let it thaw at room temperature before reheating it in the oven.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the water you use is warm, but not too hot. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast.
  • If you don't have parchment paper, you can grease your baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
  • For a crispier crust, place a small pan of water on the bottom rack of your oven while the bread is baking.
