Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, and salt.
  2. Gradually add warm water, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Cover bowl and place in Instant Pot on yogurt setting for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size. (Alternatively, let rise in a warm spot for 8–12 hours.)
  4. Transfer dough to a floured surface. Gently shape into a ball and let rest 30 minutes while oven preheats.
  5. Place Dutch oven with lid into oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C).
  6. Carefully place dough on parchment paper and lower into the hot Dutch oven.
  7. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Add rosemary, garlic, or dried herbs for extra flavor.
  • Replace part of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier loaf.
  • Sprinkle sesame or sunflower seeds on top before baking for texture.
  • If you don’t have a Dutch oven, bake on a sheet pan with a tray of water in the oven to create steam.
  • Bread is fully baked when it sounds hollow when tapped or registers 200–210°F internally.
