Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of instant yeast. Stir together until well blended.
- Gradually pour in 1 and 1/2 cups of warm water into the dry mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- If desired, mix in 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar for a hint of sweetness.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape into a loaf, and place it on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crusty.
- Check for doneness by tapping the bottom of the loaf; it should sound hollow.
- Once slightly cooled, slice the bread and serve.

Notes
For best results, use warm water at 110°F and don't skip the salt. You can let the dough rise for extra flavor.
