I haven't used my bread flour in several months as I've fallen in love with the King Arthur Flour pizza flour blend. Looking for an excuse to use up my remaining bread flour, I found King Arthur Flour's "The Easiest Loaf of Bread You'll Ever Bake" recipe and to the kitchen I went.
Unlike most of my bread and pizza go-to recipes, this bread can be made the same day with just two short rises – 1-2 hours and then 45 minutes after shaping.
The recipe also seems to be pretty flexible as well – I halved the recipe, potentially messed up the amount of bread flour that I measured (oops), and baked the bread seam side up instead of down. After 21 minutes of baking, I held the oven open with a wooden spatula for 5 minutes as directed.
The bread was very good – not as great as my longer fridge rise doughs, but definitely a bread that could be served to a crowd (or myself!) the same day.
