Even without yeast or leavening, you can make a dense and hearty loaf with just flour, water, and salt. This bread is similar to unleavened breads enjoyed throughout history. Ireland is most known for this style of bread, but a loaf like this knows no borders! It’s perfect for slicing thick and serving alongside hearty stews, no matter your time zone.

Ingredients (for 1 loaf):

• 3 cups all-purpose or bread flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 ¼ cups water

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Stir together the flour and salt, then add water gradually until a dough forms.
3. Knead 8–10 min. until smooth.
4. Shape into a round loaf and bake for 35–40 min. until firm and golden.
