Ingredients
Scale

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups warm water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

- Place the dough seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Score the dough with a sharp knife to allow it to expand.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
