Easiest Artisan Bread Recipe

Steps

1. Mix the flour, salt and yeast until combined in a large bowl (the bread doubles)
2. Add in the water (start with 1 1/2 cups then add more until it isn’t dry, but you don’t want it too wet)
3. Cover with a plate or silicon wrap or plastic wrap and let sit for 6 to 24 hours (on the kitchen counter)
4. Then degas, by stirring it once to get the air out
5. Grease your bread pan with oil or butter (coating with flour helps it to not stick or use Parchment Paper)
6. Place bread dough in your baking pan and let it rise for an hour covered (I use a dish towel or a silicon cover, make sure to grease silicon cover)
7. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes covered (I use another bread pan on top, or you could use tin foil), then 10 minutes uncovered until golden on top
