How to make soft bread (just 3 ingredients) simple and easy!
Ingredients
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp yeast
2 cups lukewarm water

Directions
in a bowl add 3 cups of all purpose flour and lightly whisk
then add 1 tsp of salt and whisk once more and set aside

in a separate bowl add 2 cups of lukewarm water and 1 1/4 tsp of yeast, whisk well and set aside for 5 mins...

once 5 mins is up- add the water/yeast mixture to the flour and salt mixture and fold gently and continuously until all the flour is well incorporated.

then cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel and set in a warm spot in your house to rise -double in size (anywhere from 2-4 hrs)

once it has risen, prepare and flour your baking dish
i use a round silicone steamer (you can use a dutch oven also, see below tip for dutch oven)

release dough from edges of bowl and lightly fold a few more times before transferring to floured steamer.
cover once more with tea towel and set again in warm spot
to let rest/rise a second time (1-2 hrs)

now it is ready to bake for 30 mins LID ON at 450 degrees
then remove lid and keep baking for an additional 15 mins

remove from oven and let cool inside the dish so it cools and softens!
note that once it is fully cooled, to keep it from hardening or going stale while you eat it...
Keep it in the steamer lid on or tea towel over so it stays soft and fresh! (bot only cover it up once fully cooled!)

truth be told it never lasts more than 3 days in our home - we eat this so fast! it is also great toasted as well with some butter/jam or anything at all! i use this also for homemade cold cut sandwiches!!

* TIP*for the dutch oven it is the same cook time and method of lid on and off however you MUST heat the dutch oven before placing dough inside! and you must line it with parchment paper not to stick to dutch oven!

enjoy! and don't forget to look at the homemade butter recipe as well
