Artisan Style Bread

The easiest, best-looking bread you can make. No kneading is required. My sister showed me the original recipe, but oops! I made a few adjustments. It requires a Dutch oven and 5-6 hours of rising. Recipe Image

Ingredients

  • 430 grams of all-purpose flour
  • 6 grams of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons of dry active yeast
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 374 grams of warm water

Procedure

  • In a big bowl, pour the flour, make a hole in the middle, add the sugar, yeast, and water, and let rest for a few minutes.
  • Add the salt and combine well with a spatula. It’s going to be sticky. Cover and let it rest for 5-6 hrs (maximum 8 hrs) in a warm place.
  • Heat the oven to 425F with the Dutch oven in it.
  • Sprinkle a bit of flour on your counter, place the dough on it, gently fold it 4 times (without kneading), and coat the dough with flour on the counter.
  • Carefully get the Dutch oven, put a big piece of parchment paper on the inside, and place the dough on it. “Score” (cut) the top of the bread and sprinkle some flour on it.
  • Bake the bread in the Dutch oven (in the oven!) for 30 minutes with the lid on.
  • Remove the lid and the parchment paper and bake for 10-20 minutes. Done!
