Artisan Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

3 C Flour

1/2 TBSP Salt

1/4 OUNCE instant or active dry yeast packet (2 1/4 Tsp)

1 1/2 C warm water

Directions:

Place the flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Then pour the warm water (about 105°F) over top, making sure it's not too hot. Then you can use a dough whisk, spatula, wooden spoon or your hands to mix together. The dough should still be somewhat wet and sticky, but add more flour if it's too sticky to handle.

Once the flour is all mixed in, cover with a towel or plastic wrap spayed with nonstick spray for 2-8 hours, or you can leave on the counter overnight. The longer you let it rise, the better. You can leave it on the counter to rise for up to 12 hours.

Shape:

• Generously flour your hands and turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. The dough will be sticky. Do not punch it down, knead it or roll it out. Gently work the dough into your preferred shape. I typically work it into a French boule (round circle) or 2 loaves and tuck the ends under.

• Lightly dust the top with flour and then use a bread knife to add 1-4 lines across the top.
