Artisan Bread in Five minutes a day has this really great recipe that is absolutely simple. I stumbled across the recipe on Pinterest when I was looking for a recipe to make bread at home. Go check out their website and learn to save your family BIG BUCKS by baking these beautiful loaves at home. There is only 4 ingredients to this bread vs commercial breads that have a zillion different things in it. I never understood the use of high fructose corn syrup in making bread. Anyone looking for a bread without the added sweetness, this is the recipe for you.
3 cups warm water
1 package yeast
1 tsp salt
6.5 cup unbleached all purpose flour (add 1/4 cup more if you are using King Arthur)
Pour yeast and salt into water. Combine. Add flour. Stir well. Proof for 2 hours. Weigh out a pound. Shape into a round ball. Dust top with flour and make 3 slashes with sharp knife. Make sure that it is deep slashes.
Place a piece of parchment in crockpot and set on high for about 1 hr. Brown in oven on broil for a few minutes. If you don't have a crock pot, bake in oven for 30-35 mins on a stone. If you don't a stone, place the loaf on parchment paper and a baking sheet.
Allow for loaf to cool completely, otherwise the bread will be nasty looking on inside when you cut into it.
