Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 20 oz. bread flour (all purpose is okay, too - about 4 cups.)
  • 8 oz. water (or 1 cup.)
  • 4 oz. melted butter with chopped herbs of choice. We had chives. Rosemary or Thyme would work really well.
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon active or instant yeast.

Instruction

  • Combine these ingredients all together in the KitchenAid stand mixer with the dough hook (it can be done by hand…it just takes longer).
  • Mix them together for about 10 minutes or until you can successfully achieve a windowpane with the dough. Once this elasticity has been achieved, the dough can sit out with plastic wrap over it for 1-4 hours to double in size.
  • After it’s gotten bigger, it should be kneaded for a minute or two so that the yeast can redistribute.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Form the dough into a dome and then place it in a dutch oven pot that has a lid. Brush the top with olive oil and score the top with a large X. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
  • Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, then remove lid to finish it off for another 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Internal temp of 200-210.
  • Ours always hits 190 and I take it out. It's completely done by then, but that could be our oven etc.
