Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 3 cups bread flour, 1.5 tsp salt, and 2 tsp yeast. Gradually add 1.5 cups warm water, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes, until doubled.
Step 3
Punch down dough, shape into a round loaf, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes, until puffy.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 425°F. Score the top with a sharp knife, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Step 5
Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
