Homemade Artisan Bread
A lot of people are taken back when it comes to making bread. I’m not sure why…
I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t need to be intimidating. Usually, homemade breads only has a hand-full of ingredients and don’t require a lot of experience to make it. The only thing this recipe requires you, is patiences.
My go to bread is this Artisan Bread, it has a crispy crust and a soft, chewy inside. And it’s literally 4 ingredients that you can find right in your kitchen.
Disclaimer: This recipe requires 8-24 hours of rising time. (I make my dough the night before and bake in the morning.)
Let’s bake!
Here’s what you’ll need:
3 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
Instructions:
In a large size bowl, stir all 4 ingredients until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 8-24 hours.
Take the dough out of the bowl onto a well-floured surface or on parchment paper, and shape into a ball. Let the dough rest for 30 Minutes.
As the dough is resting, place an oven safe baking dish (make sure your dish has a lid) with high sides into the oven and preheat for 450 degrees.
With a knife slash a X on the top of the bread and carefully transfer to the baking dish. If you used parchment paper, you can simply pick it up from the edges of the paper and put the dough and paper into the baking dish.
Cover the dish with your lid and bake for 30 Minutes. Then take the lid off and bake for around 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the bread cool before slicing
Enjoy!
Note: It’s best to eat within the same day.
