Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl or your kitchen aid mixer add the flour, salt and yeast. Use a spatula or the paddle attachment and mix to combine well.
- Pour in the warm water and keep mixing until everything is incorporated and a soft dough has formed. It will still stick to the bottom of the bowl and that is OK.
- Cover the bowl with some plastic wrap loosely and a tea towel. Allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours until doubled in size.
- Sprinkle some flour on your kitchen counter and dump the bread dough on it. Flour your hands to help it out of the bowl as it will be sticky. Don't panic, this is normal.
- With floured hands fold the dough onto itself forming it into a round ball. Do not knead it, do not handle it anymore than you need to. Use a sharp knife and lightly carve an X in the top of the loaf or just make a few cuts across.
- Place the bread dough on top of a lightly floured pizza peel, cardboard or parchment paper and allow it to rest while your oven is heating up.
- Preheat your oven to 450"F with a pizza stone inside for about 45 minutes before baking the bread. Fill an oven proof bowl with 2 inches of water and place it on the bottom rack. This will create the steam that will cause the crust to become crispy as it bakes.
- Once your oven is hot sprinkle the pizza stone with some semolina flour or corn meal and carefully slide the bread loaf on top. Bake the bread for about 30 to 45 minutes until golden brown all over and cooked through.
- Transfer the bread to a cooling rack and allow to cool off completely before slicing into it. You can also let it cool inside the oven with the door slightly open.

GRAIN FREE ITALIAN BREAD
It's not always easy finding grain free recipes, so I'm sharing this one. If you eat grain free, you already know that this kind of bread does not resemble regular white bread. This can be dipped in marina or I like it with mustard.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 9 x 5" bread pan with parchment paper and brush with some melted butter or coconut oil.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage (breaking up as small as possible) and onion. When meat is no longer pink, drain and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and then the butter, syrup and water. Next, mix in the flour, baking soda and salt until smooth.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients. Place in the pan, smoothing out the top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until knife come out clean. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Good warm or cold.
