You're in luck - delicious bread can be made from a simple recipe with no suggested measurements. You'll need a large mixing bowl, a kitchen scale, and four ingredients: - Put some flour into the bowl[1]. Make a note of its weight. - Add 2% of the flour's weight in salt. - Add 0.5% of the flour's weight in yeast[2]. - Add 70% of the flour's weight in warm water[3]. Stir until you get a rough, sloppy dough. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave to rise for 8-10 hours. Set your oven to 450°F / 230°C. Put in a Dutch oven, without its lid, to warm. Scrape the bowl out onto a floured surface. Dust your hands with flour and shape the dough into a ball. Cover with plastic and let sit for 30 minutes. Put the dough ball into the dutch oven. Put the lid on and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for 15 minutes more. Take the loaf out of the dutch oven and let it cool completely. 1) Bread flour is best, but all-purpose will do. 2) Instant yeast is best; "active dry" yeast must be dissolved into the water before mixing into the flour and salt. 3) Warm like a cozy bath; too much heat kills yeast.
