Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Add 3 and 1/3 cups of white flour to the mixture.

Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon of yeast on top of the flour.

Set the bread machine to the dough setting and start it.

After a while, check the dough; if it's sticky, add a little more flour gradually.

Once the dough is done, dump it onto greased parchment paper.

Shape the dough into a loaf shape.

Spray the outside of the loaf to prevent it from drying out.

Let the loaf rise for about 25-30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Once the dough has doubled in size, make a few slashes on top of the loaf.

Place the loaf in the oven at 375°F and start checking it around 15 minutes.

Bake for a total of about 25-26 minutes, depending on how brown you like the crust.
