(If you&#8217;re curious, a &#8220;rich dough&#8221; is a soft bread dough with the presence of fat, such as butter and eggs\u2014the kind we need for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/overnight-cinnamon-rolls\/\" rel=\"\">overnight cinnamon rolls<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/sweet-potato-dinner-rolls\/\">sweet potato dinner rolls<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/homemade-brioche\/\">brioche<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/tried-true-honey-butter-rolls\/\">honey butter rolls<\/a>.) Without fat, we&#8217;re left with the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bread Flour:&nbsp;<\/strong>While you can use all-purpose flour in this recipe, I strongly recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PkKuxS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">bread flour<\/a>. Just like when we make <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/easy-olive-bread\/\">olive bread<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/crusty-no-knead-pizza-bread\/\">pizza bread<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/asiago-bread\/\">asiago-crusted skillet bread<\/a>, bread flour produces a stronger, chewier bread and that makes a big difference in a recipe with only 3 other ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Instant Yeast:&nbsp;<\/strong>Instant yeast is key in this recipe. While you can use active dry if that&#8217;s all you have, any quick rise or instant yeast will produce flavorful results in less time. I use more yeast in this recipe compared to my <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/no-knead-cranberry-nut-bread\/\" rel=\"\">cranberry nut no-knead bread<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/jalapeno-cheddar-bread\/\" rel=\"\">no-knead jalape\u00f1o cheddar bread<\/a>. Why? Those doughs rest and rise at room temperature. However, for more flavor and just as much rise, I use more yeast and let this dough rest in the refrigerator. (Cool air slows the fermentation process.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt: <\/strong>You can\u2019t make good bread without salt and for best flavor, I recommend a coarse salt, such as coarse sea salt. I find the bread&#8217;s flavor lacking with regular table salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water: <\/strong>I normally encourage you to use warm liquid with yeast because warm liquid helps the yeast work faster. However, use cool or room temperature water here. Not freezing cold, not super warm\u2014cool to touch. 70\u00b0F (21\u00b0C) is great, but the exact temperature doesn&#8217;t matter as long as it&#8217;s not hot or warm. The cooler the water, the longer the dough takes to rise and, usually, the better the bread&#8217;s flavor. (This is important since there are so little ingredients to add substantial flavor!) We use the same cool water method for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/no-knead-homemade-honey-oat-bread\/\" rel=\"\">no knead honey oat bread<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional Cornmeal:<\/strong> Dusting the pan with cornmeal adds a pop of flavor and a little crunch to the bottom crust. This is completely optional. If you have it, use it. If you don&#8217;t have it, don&#8217;t worry about it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also add herbs and seasonings such as garlic, rosemary, dill, chopped onion, jalape\u00f1o, shredded cheese, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, etc. My <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/no-yeast-bread\/\" rel=\"\">no yeast bread<\/a> is the quick bread alternative here\u2014you can add flavors to that loaf, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/homemade-artisan-bread\/?tp_image_id=80419\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/homemade-crusty-bread-dough.jpg\" alt=\"homemade artisan bread dough in a bowl\" class=\"wp-image-80419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/homemade-crusty-bread-dough.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/homemade-crusty-bread-dough-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/homemade-crusty-bread-dough-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/homemade-crusty-bread-dough-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/homemade-crusty-bread-dough-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"890\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/homemade-artisan-bread\/?tp_image_id=80420\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/artisan-bread-dough.jpg\" alt=\"collage of 2 artisan bread dough images\" class=\"wp-image-80420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/artisan-bread-dough.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/artisan-bread-dough-500x371.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/artisan-bread-dough-600x445.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baker&#8217;s Tip:<\/strong> Avoid adding too much flour to the dough as you work with it.

But it will. Use a spatula at first, then switch to your hands to ensure all of the flour is moistened. The dough is actually a little sticky after it&#8217;s thoroughly mixed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Let it rise at room temperature for 2-3 hours. <\/strong>Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for about 2-3 hours until doubled in size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use right away or refrigerate.<\/strong> After 2-3 hours, you can immediately continue with the next step. However, for ideal flavor and texture, I strongly recommend letting the dough sit in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours and up to 3 days. Yes, 3 full days! I usually only let it rest for about 18 hours. During this crucial step, the cold air slows the fermentation process and adds so much flavor and texture. So, you can bake bread in 2-3 hours or in 3 days. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shape into 2 loaves or 1 boule. Rest as oven preheats. <\/strong>You can shape the bread into a round loaf (boule) or two longer loaves. I usually make two longer loaves side-by-side on a flat baking sheet, about 9&#215;3 inches each. Preheat the oven to a very hot 475\u00b0F (246\u00b0C). The extremely hot air will immediately set the crust so the bread rises up instead of spreading all over. Score the loaves on top right before baking. Scoring also helps control the bread&#8217;s expansion. To help ensure a crispier crust, after the oven preheats, pour boiling water into a metal or cast iron baking pan on the bottom oven rack. Immediately place the baking sheet inside and shut the oven door to trap the steam. The steam will help create that coveted crisp crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake <\/strong>until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Gently tap the loaves because if they sound hollow, they&#8217;re done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at those deliciously soft holes inside! Reminds me of ciabatta or a French baguette, both of which can be a little more complicated to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

Pour in the water and gently mix together with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. The dough will seem dry and shaggy, but keep working it until all the flour is moistened. If needed, use your hands (as I do in the video tutorial below) to work the dough ingredients together. The dough will be sticky. Shape into a ball in the bowl as best you can.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Keeping the dough in the bowl, cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and set on the counter at room temperature (honestly any normal room temperature is fine!). Allow to rise for 2-3 hours. The dough will just about double in size, stick to the sides of the bowl, and have a lot of air bubbles.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">You can continue with step 4 immediately, but for absolute best flavor and texture, I strongly recommend letting this risen dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours and up to 3 days. Place covered dough in the refrigerator for 12 hours &#8211; 3 days. I usually let it rest in the refrigerator for about 18 hours. The dough will puff up during this time, but may begin to deflate after 2 days. That&#8217;s fine and normal\u2014nothing to worry about.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Lightly dust a large nonstick baking sheet (with or without rims and make sure it&#8217;s nonstick) with flour and\/or cornmeal. Turn the cold dough out onto a floured work surface. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut dough in half. Some air bubbles will deflate as you work with it. Place dough halves on prepared baking sheet. Using floured hands, shape into 2 long loaves about 9&#215;3 inches each (doesn&#8217;t have to be exact) about 3 inches apart. Loosely cover and allow to rest for 45 minutes. You will bake the dough on this prepared baking sheet.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">During this 45 minutes, preheat the oven to 475\u00b0F (246\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">When ready to bake, using a very sharp knife or bread lame (some even use kitchen shears), score the bread loaves with 3 slashes, about 1\/2 inch deep. (&#8220;Score&#8221; = shallow cut.) If the shaped loaves flattened out during the 45 minutes, use floured hands to narrow them out along the sides again.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\"><em>Optional for a slightly crispier crust: After the oven is preheated and bread is scored, place a shallow metal or cast iron baking pan or skillet (I usually use a metal 9&#215;13-inch baking pan) on the bottom oven rack. Carefully and quickly pour 3-4 cups of boiling water into it. Place the scored dough\/baking pan on a higher rack and quickly shut the oven, trapping the steam inside. The steam helps create a crispier crust.<\/em><\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Place the shaped and scored dough (on the flour\/cornmeal dusted pan) in the preheated oven on the center rack. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Gently tap the loaves\u2014if they sound hollow, the bread is done. For a more accurate test of doneness, the bread is done when an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mL6unM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">instant read thermometer<\/a> inserted in the center reads 195\u00b0F (90\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Remove the bread from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Store leftovers loosely covered at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed\" id=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed-80079\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipe-responsive-iframe-container tasty-recipe-responsive-iframe-container-b683ad38\"><iframe class=\"fitvidsignore fitvidsignore\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n499cXMGNCA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen title=\"Homemade Artisan Bread (4 Ingredients) | Sally&#39;s Baking\"><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<ol>\n<li><strong>Make Ahead &amp; Freezing Instructions:<\/strong> The dough can sit in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, so this is a wonderful recipe to begin ahead of time. You can also bake the bread, allow it to cool, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving. You can also freeze the dough. Complete the recipe through step 3. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-friendly container. To bake, allow dough to thaw overnight in the refrigerator, or for 2-3 hours at room temperature. Continue with step 4 and the rest of the recipe instructions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Tools <\/strong><em>(affiliate links):<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mPQvWq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Glass Mixing Bowls<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+2pySoGFcnTR3zL6a9o61jQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Silicone Spatula<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mvebNN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Wooden Spoon<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xzOrXO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Baking Sheets<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Adw4bJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">2-cup Measuring Cup<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3rTQPFG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Bread Lame<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mL6unM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Instant Read Thermometer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> For absolute best flavor and chewy texture, I strongly recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PkKuxS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">bread flour<\/a>. You can use a 1:1 substitution of all-purpose flour in a pinch with no other changes to the recipe. I recommend avoiding whole wheat flour in this dough. If necessary, use half bread flour and half whole wheat flour. The bread will taste dense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yeast:<\/strong> You can use instant or active dry yeast, but I highly recommend an instant (aka &#8220;rapid rise&#8221; or &#8220;quick rise&#8221; yeast). The bread will rise faster. I usually use Platinum yeast by Red Star, which is an instant yeast. 2 teaspoons is a little less than 1 standard packet. If using active dry yeast, there are no changes needed to the recipe. The rise time in step 2 may take longer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> Use a coarse salt, such as coarse sea salt, in this bread. I find the flavor slightly lacking when using regular table fine salt. If you only have fine salt, reduce to 1 and 1\/2 teaspoons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> Use cool water. 70\u00b0F (21\u00b0C) is great, but the exact temperature doesn&#8217;t matter as long as it&#8217;s not hot or warm.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Round Loaf:<\/strong> If you want to shape the dough into a boule (round loaf) simply shape into a round ball instead of 2 loaves in step 4. Baking instructions are the same, but the loaf will take a few extra minutes in the oven. If you want to bake the boule in a dutch oven, see next note.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using a Dutch Oven:<\/strong> Follow this dough recipe through step 3, then follow the simple shaping\/baking instructions (steps 2-5) in my <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/no-knead-cranberry-nut-bread\/\">Cranberry Nut No Knead Bread<\/a> recipe including using the parchment paper. If your parchment paper can&#8217;t withstand heat this high, you can either lower the oven temperature and bake the bread for longer or grease the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Shtonn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Dutch oven<\/a> instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using a pizza stone:<\/strong> If you want to bake your bread loaves on a pizza stone, place pizza stone in the preheating oven. In step 8, place the shaped and scored dough on your preheated pizza stone. If the bottom of the shaped dough is pretty sticky, dust the hot pizza stone with some extra cornmeal. Bake as directed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Nonstick Pan:<\/strong> If you don&#8217;t have a nonstick baking sheet, line it with parchment paper instead. Coat with a dusting of flour and\/or cornmeal before placing the dough on top. Parchment paper can burn, so it\u2019s best to check the box to see how much heat yours can tolerate. Lower your oven heat if necessary and bake the bread for longer until golden brown and when gently tapped, sound hollow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavor ideas:<\/strong> Before pouring in the water in step 1, add any of the following ingredients\/combination of ingredients to the dry ingredients in the bowl: 4 cloves minced garlic + 3 Tablespoons chopped rosemary, 3 Tablespoons your favorite fresh herb (chopped), 1 cup your favorite shredded cheese, a diced jalape\u00f1o, 3\/4 &#8211; 1 cup dried cranberries and\/or chopped nuts, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Reference my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/baking-with-yeast\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/baking-with-yeast\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1572401296998000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHQx5TEc0HdQtQssU4miBjLL28hmA\">Baking with Yeast Guide<\/a>\u00a0for answers to common yeast FAQs.<\/li>\n<li>Recipe adapted from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingarthurflour.com\/recipes\/no-knead-crusty-white-bread-recipe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">King Arthur Flour<\/a> &amp;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/redstaryeast.com\/savory-crusty-rustic-bread\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Star Yeast<\/a>, similar method originally from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/My-Bread-Revolutionary-No-Work-No-Knead\/dp\/0393066304\/?tag=sallsbakiaddi-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Jim Lahey<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-nutrition\">\n\t\t\t<h3 style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Nutrition<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Serving Size:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-serving-size\">2 slices<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Calories:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-calories\">136<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Sugar:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-sugar\">0.1 g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Sodium:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-sodium\">389.8 mg<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Fat:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-fat\">0.7 g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Carbohydrates:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-carbohydrates\">27.2 g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Protein:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-protein\">4.7 g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Cholesterol:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cholesterol\">0 mg<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homemade Artisan Bread is the 1st Sally&#8217;s Baking Challenge recipe of 2020!

The full recipe and video are on my blog today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":80391,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"limit_modified_date":"1","last_modified_date":"2025-04-12T08:42:38","footnotes":""},"categories":[727,155,730,719,851,572,660,720,726,151],"tags":[344,161],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
