Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour (additional for dusting)
- 1 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cup very warm water (125°F)
- 2 teaspoons cornmeal (optional)
Steps
-
Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or pan. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of cornmeal and set aside.
-
Whisk flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl.
-
Add the warm water and stir to combine. The dough will be very sticky and wet.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
-
Sprinkle the top of the dough flour and rub your hands with flour. Turn the dough onto a floured surface (I use parchment paper). The dough will be extremely sticky, sprinkle flour on the underside and gently fold in the sides to create a ball (it'll be delicate and a bit flat).
-
Place seam side down in the prepared pan. Dust the top with additional flour if needed and cover with a towel. Let rise 30-90 minutes. *see note
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
-
Score the bread, about 1/8-inch deep 2-3 times.
-
Fill a baking dish or small pan with about 2-inches of water and place it on the bottom rack of the oven.
-
Add the cast iron pan with the bread to the middle rack of the oven. Bake 24-28 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
