Tips
- If you are new to making bread, use 1.5 cups of water for easier dough handling.
- For a wetter dough and better product, use 1.75 cups of water.
- Do not use too much salt as it makes the bread dry, but don't use too little as unsalted bread tastes bad.
- Do not knead the dough; it will make the bread tough.
- If you don't have a pizza stone, use a Dutch oven with parchment paper at the bottom.
