Description
I found this most delicious and awesome 4 Ingredients only – Yeast Artisan Bread on Instagram @itsalwaysautumnblog.
I have already made this three times in one week and believe me this is absolutely awesome.
My husband is raving about this bread, and I can see I will be baking bread every other day, but I do not mind, as this is the best and easiest 4 Ingredients only – Yeast Artisan bread ever.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (add extra if still sticky) Robin Hood Blending flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (1 cup tap water and 1/2 cup boiling water)
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir the flour, salt, yeast, and water until combined.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature overnight. I leave it overnight, thus anything up to 17-19 hours.
- Turn dough out onto well-floured parchment paper and form a ball, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- At this point, place an oven-safe baking dish (with a lid) and with high sides into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
- Wet your fingers with tap water, and gently and ever so slightly wet the top of the dough and sprinkle some coarse salt on the bread.
- When you take the baking dish out of the oven, open and lightly spray it with some non-stick.
- Once ready, just before you place it in the oven, slash an “X” on top of the bread.
- Now carefully pick it up and transfer the dough to the piping hot baking dish and cover.
- Bake covered 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 more minutes until you have
a perfect and nicely golden-brown crust. - Cool before slicing.
- You will end up with the best crust and fresh bread.

Why is it called pita bread? Pita Bread as per the encyclopedia
The name had a common origin with pizza. In the early centuries of our era, the traditional Greek word for a thin flat bread or cake, plakous, had become the name of a thicker cake. The new word that came into use for flatbread was pita. The word spread to Southern Italy as the name of thin bread.

You can make pita bread either in the oven or on the stovetop, and there are advantages and disadvantages to both. In the oven, pitas puff up much more grandly and make softer pockets, but they stay pale-colored and fairly mild-tasting. On the stovetop, you lose some of the impressive puffing but gain tasty and crunchy toasted spots on the surface of the dough. You can also make several pitas at once in the oven, where you can only make one at a time on the stovetop. Both methods work equally well, so the choice is yours!
Super Soft Dinner Rolls
Soft Dinner Rolls are a perfect addition to any main dish. Do not think you should only use these at Dinner time. Oh no, they are so delicious and versatile that you can use them any time of the day, for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Use them with soup, when you make sliders, or with a salad, the options are endless, but use them whenever you want a soft pillow-like bread roll.
