Bread Winner : The Easiest Loaf You'll Ever Bake

1 Servings
Ingredients:
3  cups  bread flour
1  packet (1/4 oz.) instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Oil






Directions:

• Combine yeast, flour & salt in a  bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups water and mix until blended; dough will be shaggy. 
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap. 
• Let dough rest about 240 mins at warm room temperature, about 70° F.

• Lightly oil a work surface & place dough on it; fold it over on itself once or twice. 
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap & let rest 30 mins more.

• At least a half-hour before dough is ready, preheat oven to 450° F. 
• Put a 6-to-8-quart heavy covered pot in oven as it heats. 
• When dough is ready, carefully remove pot from oven. 
• Slide your hand under dough & put it into pot, seam side up. 
• Shake pan once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes.

• Cover with lid & bake 30 mins, then remove lid & bake another 15 up to 30 mins, until loaf is beautifully browned. Cool on a rack.
