👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, combine: flour + salt + instant yeast.
Pour in warm water.
Mix with a spoon until it forms a sticky dough.
No kneading needed!

2️⃣ First Rise

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel.
Let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled.

3️⃣ Shape

Dust the counter with a little flour.
Gently shape the dough into a ball or loaf (don’t overwork it).

4️⃣ Second Rise

Place onto a baking sheet or inside a loaf pan.
Let it rest for 20–30 minutes while the oven preheats.

5️⃣ Bake

Preheat oven to 220°C / 425°F.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden and crisp on top.

🌟 Tips for a Perfect Loaf

✔ For extra fluffiness: add 1 tbsp sugar or honey (still counts as optional).
✔ For a crispy rustic crust: place a small tray of hot water on the bottom of the oven.
✔ For extra flavor: sprinkle sesame seeds on top (still optional, not part of the 4 ingredients).
