Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound refrigerator dough

EXTRAS

  • 2-3 tablespoons all purpose flour (more or less)

Instructions
 

  • Remove the dough from the fridge and sprinkle it with a bit of flour. Take the needed amount and put the rest back in the fridge. Quickly form the dough into an oval shape, cover with a tea towel and let it rest for 20 minutes (come to room temperature.
  • Place the dough on a floured parchment paper lined baking sheet and sprinkle the top of the dough with a little flour, cover and let it rise in a warm draft free area for 1-2 hours.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 425F. Place an empty cake pan at the bottom of the stove.
  • Before putting the dough in the oven add either a cup of hot water or some ice cubes (about 8) in the cake pan, then quickly & carefully place the dough on the cookie sheet bake for approximately 20 minutes.
  • Move the baked bread immediately to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

Homemade bread should be stored in an airtight plastic bag or tightly wrapped in plastic or foil. It should be stored at room temperature and will last three to four days.
You can tell bread is done when you tap on the bottom of the loaf and there is a hollow sound, but if you want to be 100 percent sure, then using a thermometer is your best bet, the bread is baked when the centre of the loaf registers 200 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit.
Be sure to let the loaf cool completely before freezing. Wrap it in plastic wrap (be sure to wrap tightly). Then wrap either in foil or place in air tight freezer bags. Bread will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
