Four Ingredient Artisan Bread


Course Bread
Cuisine American
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Resting Time 12 hours


Ingredients  

  • 3 cups flour all-purpose
  • 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water about 110 degrees — not hot, just warm

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt.
  • Add warm water and stir until blended (with your hands, wooden spoon, or dough whisk). The dough should be sticky and loose.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for around 12 hours.
  • After 12 hours, preheat your oven to 450ºF and put an empty 6-to-8-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot in the oven while it preheats.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and gently fold the dough over a few times (using flour sparingly and only if it's too sticky to handle).
  • Shape into a round ball and place on a piece of parchment paper. Cover and let rest for another 30 minutes.
  • After the dough has rested for 30 minutes, use a sharp knife to cut an X on the top of the loaf.
  • Pull the pot out of the oven and place the dough ball (still on the parchment paper) straight into the pot and place the lid on top.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for 35 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and bake another 10-15 minutes until the loaf is golden brown.
  • Remove the parchment paper (with bread) from the pot and place it on a cooling rack.
  • Serve with a generous amount of butter and honey
