Ingredients;

4 cups all-purpose flour, and more for dusting

1½ tsp salt

½ tsp yeast

1½ cups warm water (room temperature)

Dash of olive oil

Directions;

In a large bowl whisk together your flour, salt, and yeast. Transfer flour mixture to a mixer with a paddle attachment mixing slowly. Add warm water until a ball forms. And drizzle some olive oil while it’s mixing, Then place the dough ball in a heated bowl I usually put the bowl in the microwave for 1 minute just to warm it because the dough will rise quicker,... Now place the dough in the bowl Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours which will allow it to rise. Then preheat your oven to 450F degrees with the rack at the lower part of the oven, Turn the dough out onto a well-floured counter. Add additional flour to the top of the dough and quickly form into a ball, now place a large cast iron pot (Dutch oven) with the lid on into the preheated oven to warm-up, After 15 minutes remove the pot and add a little flour in the pot and place the dough ball into the heated Dutch oven pot and put the lid back on, and allow it to bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes have passed, remove the lid and place it back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown. Let it

Cool on a wire rack before cutting.

NOTE: If you prefer, you could mix some raisins, rosemary, roasted garlic or grated cheese into the dough. My Favorite one was the raisin & the Asiago cheese they were delicious
