No-Knead Artisan Bread

Tweet

This No-Knead Artisan Bread is crusty and has a great chew. Delicious, comforting, and versatile. Bread is one of my favorite things! So many ways to enjoy, spread some butter over it, mop up some soup or sauce, melt cheese on it, put any number of delightful things between two slices, there’s not much that can beat a crusty, chewy loaf of homemade bread.

And, it’s not difficult to make, nor does it have to take all day. This is a super easy recipe for a no-knead artisan bread that’s consistently produced great loaves for our family. In our house, my dad is the primary bread baker, but mom and I have baked our fair share as well. There’s something infinitely rewarding about taking these few simple ingredients, working them with your bare hands (or a stand mixer, as you like) and producing a staple of life. It also happens to make some outstanding French toast!

I’ll likely post another, more involved bread process in the future, but this is a wonderful place to start. Gain some confidence and branch out, get your bread creativity flowing and feed your family with delicious simplicity! Adapted from the recipe on the Bob’s Red Mill website where you can find all kinds off fun things! I hope you try your hand at some homemade bread.
