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

Units Scale
  • 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

  1. In a bowl, stir the flour, salt, yeast, and water until combined.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature overnight.  I leave it overnight, thus anything up to 17-19 hours.
  3. Turn dough out onto well-floured parchment paper and form a ball, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  4. At this point, place an oven-safe baking dish (with a lid) and with high sides into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
  5. 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.
  6. When you take the baking dish out of the oven, open and lightly spray it with some non-stick.
  7. Once ready, just before you place it in the oven, slash an “X” on top of the bread.
  8. Now carefully pick it up and transfer the dough to the piping hot baking dish and cover.
  9. Bake covered 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 more minutes until you have
    a perfect and nicely golden-brown crust.
  10. Cool before slicing.
  11. You will end up with the best crust and fresh bread.
