📖 RECIPES & RESOURCES:
BREAD: Just mix 1½ cups warm water, 1½ tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar, 3½–4 cups flour, 1¾ tsp salt, and 1 Tbsp oil. Stir into a soft dough, rest 10 min, then do a few stretch-and-folds (no kneading needed). Let it rise about an hour, shape into a loaf pan, rise again 30–40 min, then bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30–35 min.
Soft inside, golden crust, ready in about 2 hours.
