Recipe Below👇.
Ingredients
680g hard flour (high protein)
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon yeast
530ml warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil (for bowl)
Note: this recipe can all be made in a bowl without the knead of mixing on the bench 😉
Instructions
- Place the flour on the bench
- Add the salt and yeast
- Mix it all together
- Add a well in the centre of your pile
- Slowly add the warm water, little bits at a time so it doesn’t go everywhere
- Once all mixed together and the dough is gooey, add some olive oil to a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover and let sit for a couple of hours in a warm place to double in size.
- Once doubled, place some flour on your bench and tip your dough onto it and sprinkle a little more flour on top.
- Fold the dough 4-5 times and shape however you liking.
- Flour some baking paper and place the shaped dough on top, and sprinkle a little extra flour on top (this gives the cooked bread a fancy look)
- Cover the bread with a towel and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Get yourself a dutch oven (anything with a lid that is oven friendly) and place inside the oven whilst preheating. Preheat the oven to 220° celsius.
- After 10 minutes, place your baking paper dough into the dutch oven and cook for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, remove the lid off the dutch oven and continue to cook the bread for an additional 15 minutes to brown up.
- Once it’s done, take out the oven and let the bread sit for a good 10 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!

My dad owned a bakery, so I grew up eating warm crusty bread. He would have loved your crusty Paniota.
