This idea takes a little more planning and preparation.

Add 13 oz water. Add salt. Add yeast Add flour Stir until combined with the handle end of a wooden spoon. Cover with a warm damp dish towel and let rise for 1 1/2 hrs (maybe 2 hrs) in the oven with the oven light on and oven door closed (this makes it warm and encourages the dough to rise). Take out and give the dough a light stir to de-gas and stretch the dough. Pre-heat oven to 400F. Pour dough into the greased skillet. Cover and let rise for 30 min – 1 hr. Sprinkle a little flour on top or sesame seeds or brush with melted butter – your choice. Bake for 40 min. until golden brown. When you've mastered bread, why not try these cinnamon buns?
