3-Ingredient Bread Recipe: Simplicity at Its Best
- 🥖 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra chewiness)
- 🌊 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F, just warm to the touch)
- ✨ 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- Optional: A pinch of salt (to enhance flavor, but if you want a true 3-ingredient bread, leave it out!).
A First Bite of Italy
There’s something magical about the smell of freshly baked bread, but in Italy, that magic feels amplified.
I still remember my first taste of focaccia — not in a fancy restaurant, but in a tiny family-run panetteria (bakery) tucked into the winding streets of Genoa. It was one of those places you stumble upon when you take the slow route through Italy, the kind of hidden gem you find when you swap rigid itineraries for leisurely exploration.
