Rustic French Bread

#Lazy, #rainy #Saturday so I taught myself how to make#rustic #FrenchBread. Turns out it is only 4 ingredients and a whole lot easier than you would think. 🥖🥖🥖

Ingredients:

• 3 cups high quality bread flour

• 1 and 1/2 tsp dry active yeast

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 and 1/2 cup water

Instructions

• Mixing your dough is easy as can be. Just combine all the ingredients in a stand mixer with dough attachment. Mix until dough forms a ball. Then cover it and let until it has doubled in size (approx 2-3 hours).

• Punch the dough down and portion the dough into 3 pieces. Form the loaves as such: Pinch, flip, score

• Cover and let rise again for another 60 min:

• Preheat oven to 450℉. Place 3 cups of ice in a shallow pan. This will be placed in the oven with your loaves as they bake. The ice will melt and create a steam in the closed oven, which will keep the crust of your bread from baking to quickly. This will give your loaves a little extra time to expand before the crust gets crispy. It really make a difference in how your loaves pop up!
  

• Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown.

• Enjoy!
