Artisan Bread

Healthy Fact of the Day

Homemade artisan bread can be a nutritious addition to your diet, as it contains no preservatives or additives commonly found in store-bought breads. Plus, the fermentation process helps break down gluten, making it easier to digest for some people.

Ingredients

 

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

 

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, and salt until well combined.

  2. Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours, allowing it to ferment and develop flavor.

  4. After the resting period, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven with its lid on inside to heat up.

  5. Meanwhile, turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and shape it into a ball, tucking the edges underneath to create a smooth top.

  6. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven and place the dough ball inside, seam-side up.

  7. Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and return it to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

  8. After 30 minutes, remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

  9. Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
