Mix flour, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl.

Add warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) with a baking stone or tray inside.

Shape the risen dough into a round loaf and place on parchment paper.

Sprinkle cornmeal on the baking stone or tray to prevent sticking.

Transfer the loaf onto the hot stone or tray carefully.

Slash the top of the loaf with a sharp knife for steam release.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
