Let it rise:
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Shape the bread:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and shape it into a loaf or round shape. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased loaf pan.
If you want a crunchy topping, you can brush the dough with an egg wash and sprinkle with some coarse salt or seeds for extra texture.
Second rise:
Let the shaped dough rise for about 30 minutes to an hour, until it’s puffed up.
Bake the bread:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for about 30–35 minutes or until the bread has a golden-brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool down:
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying!
The perfect combination of crunch and softness inside! 🍞 Enjoy the crocant texture on the crust, it’s perfect for dipping in olive oil or making sandwiches. Would you add any special flavors or toppings to your bread?
