This easy artisan bread recipe gives you a soft, airy interior with a crisp, golden crust—perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying with butter.
Ingredients:
500g (4 cups) all-purpose flour
10g (2 tsp) salt
7g (2 tsp) instant yeast
350ml (1 ½ cups) warm water
1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for extra softness)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and yeast.
2. Gradually add warm water while mixing until a sticky dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, and cover it with a clean towel.
5. Let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Shape the Loaf
1. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently deflate it.
2. Shape it into a round loaf and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
3. Cover and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
Step 3: Score and Bake
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Place an oven-safe dish with water at the bottom to create steam.
2. Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife to allow expansion.
3. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
4. Let the bread cool before slicing.
