Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and place a cast iron skillet inside to heat.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, instant yeast, and salt. Add warm water and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Carefully remove the hot skillet and brush it with melted butter.
  4. Transfer the dough into the skillet and spread gently into an even layer.
  5. Brush the top with melted butter and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven, brush with additional butter, and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use warm water, not hot, to activate the yeast.
  • Preheating the skillet ensures a crisp crust.
  • Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing for best texture.
