Homemade One Hour Bread
The easiest homemade bread recipe that takes just an hour to make from start to finish! You can make a delicious loaf of bread with a golden brown chewy crust that's also soft inside.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons water (lukewarm)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1¾ teaspoons instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In the stand up mixer, whisk the flour and yeast. Add the oil and then the water a little at a time while kneading with the hook attachment. When almost combined add the salt and knead until smooth and compact, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Move to a lightly floured flat surface and form into desired shape. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, loaf pan or dutch oven. Cover the bread and let rise 30-45 minutes in a warm draft free area.
- Pre-heat open to 425 (200C). Place an empty pan on the bottom of the oven while pre-heating.
- Add a cup of hot water to the pan, score the bread, then place on the middle rack in the oven, bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 190F. Immediately move to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
I bake the bread in a dutch oven, but I do not cover it.
Once the bread is completely cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap. You can store it at room temperature for several days or you can freeze it for several months.
