That will give it that artisan top.Ĭook for 30 minutes covered.

Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven and just as carefully drop the dough in the center of the Dutch oven. Lightly coat both the bottom and the top of the loaf with flour. Simply take out the ball of dough, that should have risen. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees with the Dutch oven inside. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover the top with a lightly damp kitchen towel. Then dump the dough onto the counter and continue to knead for about five minutes, or until the dough is smooth. Let the mixer knead the dough for a few minutes. Add in the rest of the flour in 1/2 cup increments until the dough completely comes together in a ball. The dough will start to come together, but still be sticky. In a separate bowl mix 3 cups of the flour with the salt.Īdd the flour mixture one cup at a time to the yeast mixture in the stand mixer attached with the dough hook. Let is rest for 10 minutes until it is foamy. Proof yeast by combining the yeast and the sugar in the bottom of the bowl of a stand mixer and then pour the warm water over it. I am already planning on making this again AND trying some new versions. If you have a Dutch oven, you can let the artisan bread baker inside of you out. Not this girl and I have the fanny to prove it. This bread is the perfect addition to.okay well any meal really. We paired it with a yummy yummy soup I will be sharing this week for Slow Cooker Saturday. Loaf was gone after one meal and an early snack the next day. I am sure the time difference offers some benefit, but this much faster bread was pretty stinkin' good. oh please tell me someone got the reference. Now sometime I plan to prepare in advanced for that but basically, I am on a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants basis around here and to be honest. Most of the recipes call for making an easy dough at night but then letting it rest over night before cooking (basically the dough has to rise for 8 hrs). I was drawn to this one because, unlike most of the Dutch oven artisan bread recipes out there, it could be started and finished in an afternoon.
