  • 3/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour plus more if needed

  • Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. If dough is too wet, add 1 tablespoon more flour at a time until it reaches the right consistency.

  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently shape into a round loaf without deflating too much. Place on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
