Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and dust with cornmeal.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add warm water and stir until combined.
  3. Transfer batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle top with extra cornmeal if desired.
  4. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  6. Brush the top with melted butter, let cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
  7. Slice, toast, and enjoy with your favorite spread.

Notes

  • For added flavor, mix in shredded cheese or dried herbs.
