  • 1 1/2 tablespoons instant yeast
  • 3 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 6 1/2 cups flour plus more for dusting
  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the salt and flour and stir until there are no dry spots. The dough will be soft and looser than typical bread dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours.

  • After the dough has risen, divide it into two pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Place each dough ball on a piece of parchment paper and let rest 40 minutes.

  • While the dough is rising for the second time, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a baking stone or flipped pan on the upper rack and a baking sheet or metal cake pan on the lower rack. Heat the baking stone for at least 20 minutes before baking bread.

  • When the dough is ready to bake, sprinkle with flour and cut three deep slashes on top. Use a pizza peel (or thin cutting board) to slide the dough on the parchment paper onto the baking stone. Pour a cup of water into the baking/cake pan and quickly close the oven door. Bake until golden brown, 24-28 minutes.
