Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Gradually pour in 1 and 1/2 cups of warm water into the dry mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. If desired, mix in 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar for a hint of sweetness.
  4. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape into a loaf, and place it on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crusty.
  7. Check for doneness by tapping the bottom of the loaf; it should sound hollow.
  8. Once slightly cooled, slice the bread and serve.
