Time 2h52m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups bread flour, (or plain/all purpose (15.8 oz. or 450g))
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
2 teaspoons dried, (instant or rapid rise yeast)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) warm water
1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Add water and oil, mixing to incorporate all of the ingredients together. Dough will be wet, sticky and shaggy.
  • Lightly spray the top with cooking oil spray. Cover with plastic wrap and place a dry tea towel over the top.
  • Leave in a warm, draft-free place for 2-3 hours, until doubled in size. Dough will have a lot of little holes or bubbles and be wobbly like jelly.
  • Place a large (10-inch or 26cm) dutch oven or heavy based pot in the oven with a lid. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) 30 minutes before baking.
  • Lightly flour work surface and plastic spatula with up to 1 tablespoon flour. Scrape dough out of bowl onto work surface with spatula. Sprinkle the top of dough with a large pinch of flour and fold it over on itself with the spatula (about 5-6 folds). Roughly form a round shape.
  • Measure out a large piece of parchment paper, large enough to transfer the dough into the pot. Place paper next to the dough and roll dough onto the paper, smooth side up. Carefully move it to the centre of the paper and reshape if needed, or shake pan a couple of times to evenly distribute dough. (It will even out while baking.)
  • Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let rest while oven is preheating.
  • Use oven mitts to carefully remove hot dutch oven from oven. Grab the parchment paper from each end to pick up the dough and transfer it into the pot.
  • Cover with lid and bake for 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, until loaf is beautifully golden browned.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Artisan Bread - Easy Homemade Recipe image

What could be better than a warm loaf of Homemade Artisan Bread that you made in your very own kitchen. You'll amaze your family and friends with my easy to make "almost" no-knead bread.

Provided by Chef Dennis Littley

Categories     Bread

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar (*see notes)
1½ tsp salt
½ tsp dry active yeast
1½ cup water (room temperature)
1 tsp olive oil
½ cup flour (to finish dough and use on countertop)
water to brush the bread with ( to brush the bread with )

Steps:

  • Mix all the dry ingredients together. Use a whisk to make sure they are mixed well. Place into the bowl of your stand mixer set up with the dough hook.**you can also mix this by hand using a wooden spoon or your hands.
  • Add the water and stir into the dry ingredients until a dough forms. It should start to pull away from the bowl. The dough will look wet and sticky.
  • Place the dough in a large bowl that has been lightly oiled. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the bowl in a warm part of your kitchen away from any drafts.
  • Allow the dough to rise for at least 12 hours up to a maximum of 16 hours. 12-14 hours is the sweet spot. Bubbles wil form in the dough and it may drop a bit after rising.
  • Lightly flour the countertop and dump out the bread dough on the floured surface.
  • Add flour into the dough as you work the dough around. This will take about 5 minutes. Keep adding flour until the dough isn't sticky. Form the dough into a ball.
  • Flatten the dough out to make a rectangle.
  • Fold over 1/3 of the dough to the center (you're folding the widest part first as shown in the pictures). Fold over the other side of the rectangle overlapping the first fold of the dough.
  • Continue the folding process by folding the bottom 1/3 of the dough upwards towards the center of the little package you've made. then fold the top part of the dough down overlapping the fold you just made.Turn the dough over (seam side down) and make a disc or oblong loaf depending upon what shape bread you want to make.
  • Place the finished dough on parchment paper (sprinkle cornmeal or flour on the parchment before placing the dough)
  • Cover the dough with a bowl or damp tea towel for the second rise. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the cloche or dutch oven in the oven on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. and place the covered dough on top of the stove to finishing rising for about 30 minutes.
  • When the dough has fully risen, using a very sharp knife cut a design into the top of the bread. Make deep cuts.Brush the entire bread dough with water.
  • Very Carefully remove the cloche from the oven (close the oven door).
  • Place the parchment paper with the dough onto the cloche, cover with the lid and place back into the oven.It's okay to bake the bread on the parchment paper.
  • Bake for 30 minutes at 450 degrees F.
  • Remove the lid from the cloche or dutch oven, leaving the bread in the oven. Turn off the oven. Allow bread to stay in the oven for about 10 minutes. Less if it looks like its getting too dark. This will finish the baking process, crisping up the outside of the crust bread adding more color to the crust.Dark Bread is okay, it looks more rustic!
  • Let the bread rest for at least an hour before cutting. Cutting the bread too soon will release the steam (water) and toughen the bread.

ARTISAN BREAD BEST FLAVOR



Artisan Bread Best Flavor image

This bread has the best flavor, appearance and crumb of all the breads I make. Don't rush it, let it fully rise each time. I use a dutch oven (cast iron pot with cover) so I can contain the steam like a commercial oven. You can spray the top with water and sprinkle salt or caraway seeds. I'm still looking for a way to make the crust crispy. Some of the ingredients are by weight, sorry (trust me it's worth it)

No-Knead Artisan Style Bread image

This is a very easy bread to make without any kneading. Bake in a Dutch oven or heavy casserole dish. The bread comes out very crusty and with huge holes throughout, just like at the bakery.

Time P2DT3h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 ⅔ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the water and herbs, if using, and mix well. The dough will be very sticky and shaggy-looking. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 18 to 24 hours.
  • Generously flour a work surface. The dough will have risen and will be covered in bubbles. Transfer the dough to the work surface and dust it with flour. Fold the dough in half, and then form the dough into a ball by stretching and tucking the edges of the dough underneath the ball.
  • Liberally flour a kitchen towel (do not use terrycloth). Place the dough ball on the floured towel. Cover with another floured towel. Let the dough rise for about two hours [see footnote].
  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a lidded Dutch oven or deep heavy duty casserole dish (with lid) into the oven to preheat.
  • Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Remove the lid and gently turn the dough ball into the ungreased baking dish, seam-side up; shake the dish so the dough is more evenly distributed.
  • Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake until the crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the loaf from the baking dish and let it cool on a rack before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the bread will taste. Look for high-protein flour, fresh yeast, and pure water.
  • Properly measure your ingredients. Bread is a science, and precise measurements are essential for a successful bake.
  • Knead the dough properly. Kneading develops the gluten in the flour, which gives bread its structure and chewiness.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F (24-29°C).
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature. This will create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from tearing.

Conclusion:

Making artisan bread at home is a rewarding experience. With a little patience and practice, you can create delicious, crusty loaves that will impress your family and friends. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your next batch of artisan bread is the best it can be.
