6 steps

Ingredients

1-1/2 cup Warm Water
2-1/4 teaspoons Yeast
2 teaspoons Salt
3-1/4 cups Bread Flour Or All Purpose Flour
Cornmeal (for Sprinkling On The Pizza Stone)

Directions

1

In a large bowl, add the water, yeast, and salt and stir until combined. Add the flour and stir until incorporated. Work the dough with the spoon until the lumps are gone.
2

Place a towel or plastic wrap over the bowl and set in a draft free spot for 2 hours.
3

Preheat oven to 450 F. Place a pizza stone in the center of the oven to warm as the oven heats. Add 2 cups of water into an oven-safe dish and place in the rack below the pizza stone. This will create steam and give that nice crust you are looking for.
4

Once the dough has risen, form it into a ball and sprinkle a bit of flour on top. Make 2 or 3 slices on the top of the bread.
5

Sprinkle the pizza stone with cornmeal or flour and place the dough on top. Bake for 30 minutes.
