Easy homemade bread recipe. Only three ingredients. Tastes like it came fresh from the bakery. Super affordable, artisan bread with a perfect, crunchy crust and soft, fluffy inside.
Cover with a towel, saran wrap or a dutch oven lid and let it rise for 8 hours. I like to store it in my oven (not turned on, of course) with the light on to help it rise.
Flour a clean surface and place the dough on the floured surface. Sprinkle the top of the dough with a little bread flour so it's not as sticky. Knead the dough for 30 seconds.
Add to an oiled bread pan and top with another bread pan lid. Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Take the lid off and turn the heat down to 420 and bake for another 15 minutes.
