This recipe was taken right from the back of the Artisan Bread flour bag. I was anxious to create a home-baked bread. All I needed was some active dry yeast. I was ready to go. My excitement got the better of me though. I wasn’t smart enough to think ahead and it would be midnight before my dough would be ready for the oven.
Fortunately I have great blogger friends who advised me that I could refrigerate it over night, bring it back to room temperature and continue to the baking process.
I was a bit nervous, anticipating an epic failure. But, as you can see, it turned out beautifully. A gorgeous gold brown crusty loaf of artisan bread.
Don’t be intimidated by bread making when you can make this beautiful loaf in your own home for less than half the price you pay for store-bought. All you need is time.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
