This has got to be the easiest homemade bread ever. If you’ve never made a yeasted bread before, I guarantee you’ll be proud of yourself. As with any yeast dough, you have a lot of flexibility with timing here. I find it very easy to mix up the dough a day or two before I want to bake it, and just forget about it in the fridge, but if you are not a planner, and want to speed things up, you can mix up the dough on the same day you want to bake, achieving the first rise in a few hours. The exact time it takes to double will depend on the ambient temperature in the room, so leave extra time, and keep a close eye on it. You also have the option of transferring the dough to the pan in one piece, instead of dividing the dough for the pull-apart version, which adds a sense of fun to the traditional Italian flatbread.
