Description
A foolproof recipe for crafting a delicious, rustic artisanal bread at home with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.
- Pour in the warm water and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for about 8 hours.
- Flour your hands, transfer the dough onto a floured surface, and shape it into a round loaf.
- Let it rest for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Bake the loaf until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped, about 30-35 minutes.
- Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Flour your hands well to prevent sticking, and preheat the Dutch oven if using for a crispier crust.
