Perfect for serving your favorite soups, stews, or mac and cheese. The dough is easy to make with just a few ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup warm water
- 2½ tsp instant dry yeast
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar can use honey instead
- 2 tsp salt 3
- 3 cups flour all purpose
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the eggwash:
- 1 egg white
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine water + yeast + sugar, stir to combine. Let it stand for 5-10 mins until foamy. Add the flour, salt and olive oil and mix until a dough mixture begins to come together.
- Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Add more flour if too sticky. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise on the counter for 1 hour.
- Remove dough from bowl and cut into 3 equal pieces. Form round balls and cover with a towel to let rise once more for 30 mins. They will have doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Coat the dough in the egg wash and bake for 20 mins, until golden brown. Allow to cool before cutting the center out to create a well in the bread.
