Artisan bread is one of the most favored of current trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It is easy, it is quick, it tastes yummy. Artisan bread is something which I’ve loved my whole life. They’re fine and they look wonderful.

To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have artisan bread using 4 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Artisan bread:
  1. Get 3 1/4 cups bread flour
  2. Take 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  3. Make ready 2 teaspoons ground sea salt
  4. Make ready 1 1/2 cups cool or room temperature water

An artisan is a skilled worker, one who works with their hands. Perfect for those who love freshly home baked bread right out of the oven. Since artisan bread bakers use a less controlled process, every bread will have its character and mouthfeel. Artisan bread also typically uses traditional yeast fermenting techniques.

Instructions to make Artisan bread:
  1. Whisk together the bread flour, yeast, and sea salt.
  2. Gradually pour in 1 1/2 cups of water, and mix with a spatula or your hands, until the dough starts to form.
  3. Cover with aluminum foil, and leave to rest at room temperature for 3-4 hours. Move to the fridge to store for up to 2-3 days.
  4. Remove the cold dough from the bowl, and place on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into two pieces, and using your hands shape each piece into a loaf.
  5. Preheat the oven to 246 degrees celsius. Place the loaves on a floured non stick baking tray, and cover for 45 minutes.
  6. After 45 minutes, bake the dough for 20-25 minutes. Once the crust is golden brown, remove the tray from the oven and allow the bread to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

The benefit of using traditional techniques is more flavorful bread and it often has a more nuanced flavor profile than their mass-produced counterparts.
