Super-Easy Crusty Bread

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.

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

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.

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.

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