Follow these easy steps:Step 1: Preheat Your OvenPreheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) . Place a baking sheet or cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up while you prepare the dough.Step 2: Make the DoughIn a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes, just until smooth. Avoid overworking the dough—it doesn’t need to be perfect!Step 3: Shape the BreadShape the dough into a round or oval loaf. If desired, sprinkle the top with seeds, herbs, or cheese for added flavor and texture.Use a sharp knife or razor blade to make a shallow slash across the top of the loaf. This helps the bread expand evenly during baking.Step 4: Bake the BreadCarefully transfer the shaped dough onto the preheated baking sheet or skillet.Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes , or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.Step 5: Cool and EnjoyTransfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool slightly before slicing.Slice and serve warm with butter, olive oil, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy the aroma and flavor of freshly baked bread!
