Simple Crusty White Bread Recipe 🍞

[benzie]

Hey everyone! I thought I’d share my go-to recipe for a simple, crusty white bread. It’s perfect for beginners but still gives you that bakery-style vibe. I love how it fills the house with that fresh bread smell! Let me know if you try it and how it turns out.
Ingredients:

• 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
• 1 1/4 cups warm water (not too hot!)

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar.
2. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy.
3. Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until it forms a shaggy dough.
4. Turn it onto a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1–2 hours or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a baking stone or an overturned baking sheet inside to heat.
7. Punch down the dough, shape it into a round loaf, and place it on parchment paper.
8. Slash the top with a sharp knife for that classic crusty look.
9. Bake on the preheated stone for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.
   

Enjoy it warm with butter or use it for your favorite sandwiches. It’s such a simple joy to make your own bread!
