Servings: Loaf Artisan Bread
Calories: 1403kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoons Instant or Active Dried Yeast
- 1¼ cups water lukewarm
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add lukewarm water and mix everything to form a rough, uneven, and ragged dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, let it sit, and rise in a warm environment until it doubles in size for about 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, preheat the oven to 450°F with a Dutch oven inside (so the Dutch oven gets preheated as well). It is important to create a consistent baking environment for the bread, allowing it to bake evenly on all sides.
- Place the dough onto a floured work surface. The dough will be sticky, this is normal, so dust it with some flour whenever needed; Knead the dough by folding it onto itself, turning, and repeating for 2–3 minutes until a tensive dough ball forms
- Transfer to a proofing basket for bread I got mine from Amazon; here is the link, or you can use a parchment-lined bowl, cover, and let rise for 35 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
- Place the dough ball in the preheated Dutch oven lined with parchment and bake at 450°F for 30 minutes; reduce the oven temperature to 400°F, remove the lid, and bake for another 10-15 minutes. At this point, the longer you bake the bread, the crispier the crust will be. Of course, make sure it is not burning.
- Enjoy!
