47 Mins
Ingredients
  • 3 cups
    water
  • 1 teaspoon
    honey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons
    yeast
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons
    kosher salt
  • 6 1/2 cups
    unbleached all purpose flour
Methods of Preparation
  1. Dissolve yeast and honey in warm water. Let sit 5 minutes.
  2. Start with 5-1/2 cups flour; combine with yeast/honey water and stir with a wooden spoon. If dough is very sticky, add additional flour 1/4 cup at a time until a very soft dough forms. Do not knead. Cover and let rise at least 2-3 hours, but the best results come when dough has been refrigerated overnight.
  3. Sprinkle a bit of cornmeal on parchment-lined baking sheet
  4. Sprinkle some flour on dough and cut off a grapefruit sized ball. With floured hands, smooth and stretch the surface creating a round surface. Place on parchment and let rise 45 minutes uncovered.
  5. Place the Smart Oven+ Baking Stone Attachment in oven. Select STONE BAKE mode and preheat to 450øF.
  6. Slash a 1/4-inch-deep cross or "#" pattern on dough with a serrated knife. Slide onto Baking Stone and bake 25-20 minutes until golden and Bread feels hollow when tapped.
