4 Ingredient Easy Artisan Bread
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Resting time: 8 hours
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1.5 cups warm water
Directions:
In a bowl, stir the flour, salt, yeast, and water until combined. The dough should look dry and shaggy - if it looks wet and sticky instead, stir in an additional 1/4 cup of flour. Cover with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 8-24 hours.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and form a ball. (Place on parchment paper if desired.)
Rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place an oven-safe baking dish with high sides into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
Slash an “X” on top of the bread. Carefully transfer to a baking dish and cover. (If using parchment paper, you can pick up the edges of the paper and transfer the dough and the paper together into the baking dish.)
Bake covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 15 more minutes until quite golden brown.
Cool before slicing.
