Scale

- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
- Once risen, turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a rectangle.
- Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, then preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Notes
- For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure flour.
- Make sure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast.
