Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 package instant yeast
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
- 1¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
optional
- extra virgin olive oil salt and rosemary to top bread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200℉.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1½ cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
- In a small saucepan on your stovetop, warm milk and butter just enough to melt the butter, but not to a boil so that it doesn't kill the yeast.
- Mix into flour mixture and add remaining flour until smooth.
- Using a dough hook (or your hands) knead dough for 4-5 minutes.
- Lightly coat baking dish or cocotte with olive oil. Place dough ball in cocotte and cover with a light towel. Place in oven for 1 hour, turning the heat off.
- Remove and preheat oven to 350℉. Punch dough down, create a new ball and brush with olive oil (and optional sea salt and rosemary).
- Bake 35 minutes.
