The ingredients for Basic Bread are:

3 cups whole wheat or unbleached flour
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups water at exactly 120 degrees

Here is how you make Basic Bread:

In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt. Add water and stir with a wooden spoon until blended; dough will be sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rest at least 2 hours, preferably about 18. 8 hours gives good results and texture to the bread.Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball or oval. Scoop up the dough and set it in the middle of a Dutch oven. Put the lid on the Dutch oven and set it in a cold oven.Turn the heat on to 450 degrees and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for 15 minutes more or until the crust is a deep golden brown. Turn the bread out onto a cutting board to cool.Serving Size: One 1?-pound loaf. Two pizza crusts.
